REGENT THEATRE.

" "Tho Dance of Life" at the Regent Theatre Is an intriguing back-stage romance. Hal Skelly and Nancy Carroll ■ appear in the principal roles —tho former as "Skid" and the latter as "Bonny" — his clever and plucky . little partner iv his burlesque and specialty dancing act. Skid has a "love for liquor and horses, but Bonny steadies him and ultimately marries him, being in head and heart much the stronger of the two partners. But Skid, his head\tuftied by his great success in the Broadway Review, becomes, in Bonny's absence, too fond of Sylvia ,the soubrette of the company, and Bonny takes divorce proceedings, intending to marry a wealthy Western, ranchman who has fallen in love with her. How Bonny and Skid finally come together again and Bonny once more figures as his guardian angel make a very romantic and pleasing lovo story. "The supporting films include two more than usually interesting movietone news reels one featuring the Schneider Cup race and a speedboat race, and a screamingly 'funny cartoon comedy, "The Krazy Kat Comic.',' "Nothing but the Truth," whichl is coming to-the Regent Theatre, is a 100 per cent.! talkIng production, and is said to be an hilarious comedy. It is the first all-talking farce Paramount lias yet produced, and it sets a high mark. Richard Dix is said to do things In this picture that he has never been seen to do before. He causes surprise after surprise. In addition, he speaks with a fine, vibrant voice. Helen Kane, in her first picture, makes her debut auspiciously. She has one; of the biggest comedy roles iv the piece. Others in the cast are artists who have dealt out comedy successfully on the stage for years. They achieve new honours in this great alltalking, all-laughing farce sensation.
