REGENT THEATRE.

"The Flag Lieutenant," now ;it tlie Regent Theatre, is without doulit a creat picture. With the active co-operatiou of the Admiralty, the makers have been able to build into the story much Impressive grandeur and spectacle. Around the well-written play, a picture of excellent calibre has been made with a wellchosen and carefully selected cast. Above all is the naval aspect of the film. This will appeal to tho hearts of the British public. ! This romance of tho Navy tells of the friendship of a .voting reckless naval oilicer and a major of marjnes. The major, after 23 years of service, finally cuts his chance for promotion, and the lieutenant, who really performs the deed, keeps silence so that his frli'iid may benefit. Henry Edwards and Dorothy Seacomb head tho cast. In addition, there is a Him depicting Incidents in tho life of the Prince of Wales, and a particularly well-acted contribution to the programme by pupils of Miss Kathleen O'Brien. To-nißhfs'|icrrormancc will be attended by His Excellency the GovernorGeneral. Tho bi^cst doublo feature yet presenter! will be featured at tho Recent Theatre on Friday next, when popular Bobe Daniels will appear in her latest, "Swim, Girl, Swim," and Thomas Melghan. farourlto hero, will bo seen in tho drama, "We'ro all Gamblers." "Swim, Girl, Swim" is a modern story In which an attempt to swim the Channel plays a big part, and the picturo is made doubly interesting by the inclusion in the cast of Gertrude Kdcrle, famous as tho first woman to swim the English Channel. In "We're All Gamblers," Thomas Meighan has tho kind of role that suits him perfectly. Dramatic scenes of a man's fight for honour, leading up to a great climax, marl; tins attraction.
