REGENT THEATRE.

Sir Harry Lauder appears In a new rolo'in "Huntingtower," scroening tills weok at tho Kogeut Theatre. Tho famous comedian is seen on tlio screen as an actor for tho first time, and his work as Angus M'Cullum, tho Glasgow grocer, seeking a quiet holiday, is of great merit. "Huntingtower" tolls of tho escape of a Russian princess when her homo is ravaged and her parents murdered by tho Bolshoviks. She Is saved from the Bolsheviks by Lieut. Uerilago, nephew of M'Callum, who advises her to await him at Huntingdon Tower Arriving tliero sho tlnds the tower occupied by tlio enemy, and the final defeat of tho Iteds, in which M'Callum aud his Glasgow ragamuffins play no small part, makes an exciting climax. Tho princess Is realistically portrayed by Miss Vera Veronina tho famous Hussian beauty. Also on tho programmo Is Arthur Aldridge, a powerful tenor, whose songs are backed by an unusual stago setting. Tlio orchestra under Ivan Foselio plays excellent music, Including as an overture "Stradella," by Flotow. "Wings," the drama of tho skies, is thirteen reels of greatness. There is no subject that could be filmed that would be of ( more international interest than "Wings,1 tor •■Wings" is the spirit of avialion, and tho spirit or aviation is a paramount tope of today. "Wags" comes to tho llegciit Thcatro ou Friday, commencing at tho matinee. One of thu sensations that have hitherto been tho experience of a few come at last to the many. When a 'plane swoops down at mighty speed, only the pilot, or, may be, his companion, too, if he has one, gels the exhilarating thrill of the speed of the machine But those who see this ipcture will be. passengers iv many such a Hhrilling dive., A camera placed on •planes when they were making the picture, tells the story, and gives an experience that has hitherto been the lot or aviators. Clara How, Charles Kogers. Uicliard Arlen, Gary Cooper, Henry 11. Walthall, and others are iv theAist. The. box plans at the theatre and The Bristol already bear evidence of a phenomenal season for this epic of the air.
