REGENT THEATRE.

"Red Salute."

Something new in the field of film comedy is said to be presented in the Keliance production "Red' Salute," released through United Artists, which starts today at the Regent Theatre. An American critic has described it as "a perfect blending of romance, action, suspense, and uproarious fun." In her first comedy role, Barbara Stanwyck is co-starred most effectively with that breezy young actor, Robert Young; and assisted by a plot that is unusually strong for a film of this type, a capable supporting cast, witty dialogue, and beautiful scenic backgrounds they produce an entertainment that has already found wide supS2 rt, '2 America and other countries. Red Salute" tells the fresh and engaging story of Drue Van Allen, a fuA yV he^dstrong young university student whose socially and politicallyprominent family is embarrassed by the publicly which follows her madcap escapades. When she is expelled from the college because of her radical leanings, acquired from her association with a young man named Arner, with whom she fancies herself in love, her father, a colonel in the army coerces the girl into leaving the counliy. Drue settles in a town near the Mexican border, but plans to return as soon as possible to her revolutionary sweetheart. She inveigles JefT a young private in the American army into stealing a motor-car, and they drive across the Mexican border with I the police in hot pursuit. The advanUires and difficulties they encounter in ;the course of their flight keep the 1 story spinning along at a brisk pace.
