REGENT THEATRE.

Tho film revival of "The Girl From Maxim's" at the Regent is worth while attending If only for the fine work done by Frances Day m « » Sllrlm"-" a charming dancer at Le Mou)in Rouge. The plot is sufficiently intricate to be; humorous, and Leslie Heusou and Lady ..Tree, as Dr. and Mrs. Petypou. flu their parts well. Petypou is induced by his partner to r P ,>St "KfnV The Shrimp. . well Sown o the .habitues of the lively resort, breezes in -■.whenj-,* everyone is mellow, and tho •<telU" is drawn on a very lively end to Jhe" "{evening,, to be raised again, i%th"e morning ln Petypon'3 home. Here he is discovered at midday by his partner fast asleep-under an Inverted sofa, while The bhnmp snores in his bed. It only needs the entry of Madame Petypon to shatter the domestic vase, but this is averted by tho previous entry of the doctor's uncle, a peppery general, who ls led to believe the Shrimp is madame, and plans a trip to his country homo for his ward's wedding Amongst the supports is "The Mystery Ship," showing how Germany has solved the problem S »«reL ei SS c™trol o! at> unmanned oil-burning batttleship. The pictorial technical details are most interesting. The vessel answers her helm, .increases speed, makes more steam to give that speed and is In fact a robot battleship under complete wireless control throughout. "Facing tho Music." "Facing the Music," which comes to the Regent Theatre on Friday, provides. Stanley | ho m I h a role ttfter'"ls own heart, and ne will be seen as a persistent young man who, having made up his mind to "marry the girl.' goes through flre and water to gain i her consent. Complications in the form of „" aUn»'. Mad? mo Calrini- a famous but temperamental prima donna, and her publicity , agent, make it hard going for Jack; but by a <stfmt c °r hl h, lCV le hlts oa a sound Pub«clty ■Stunt, which involves the stealing of Cai.rtni's jewels during a performance of "Faust." A.,fair newcomer to the screen is Xancy Burne who plays opposite Stanley Lupino.
