REGENT THEATRE. In his latest success, "The Kid from Spain," at the Regent Theatre, Eddie Cantor once more proves his ability as a comedian, and also a3 something of an acrobat. The picture, which is a mixtura of Mexican sentiment and American showmanship, is one long laugh, and Cantor Is largely responsible. The plot rests mainly on several misunderstandings, which nowadays appear necessary for the conduct of any successful aim, and no opportunity Is lost either by acting or "smart" dialogue, to produce a smile. In the early stages Eddie Is involved in a ban,k robbery, as a result of which he is ■obliged to get over into Mexico at the point of a crook's gun. Here, to avoid' tho. vigilance of the police, he hides under the pseudonym, of a great toreador. Things proceed in rapid fashion until Kddie has to fight the bull, and, after a round or two of whirlwind matadoring, a song of '.'Tin Tan Alley" brand, and a vigorous dancehall scena, he emerges with honour and his woman. At no time does the comedy slacken; It is excellent farce. ' , ■ "The' Sign of trie Cross," "a film of distinct merit, will be presented at the Regent Theatre as the Easter attraction. There is an excellent cast. ■ ' •' ,
