THE REGENT THEATRE.
"The Return of Peter Grimm," at the Regent, is a realistic film. Peter Grimm is nearing the end of a simple, kindly life, as a famous nurseryman. In the beautiful old home are a boy and girl he has adopted, who are thrown into consternation when the old man announces that the girl Katie shall marry his son Frederick, and when he tearfully pleads for Katie's consent to the marriage, she cannot refuse. Ten minutes after her consent, Peter passes away in a doze. A half sceptical compact with a friend, that the first to die shall return to this world, brings him back on the wedding eve, and his eyes are opened to the tragedy Katie's Eromise is about to cause. Peter, as played y Alec.B. Francis, is a wonderfully lovable study, and Janet Gaynor. as Katie is alternately a charming girl and a wistful woman. A splendid pictorial Fox news and a comedy are the supports. Yost and Cladj model wonderful faces in clay to cheery patter, and Matt Dixon's Regent Orchestra supplies the excellent music.
