REGENT THEATRE.

"Come and Get It." ,

"My American Wife" will be shown finally at the Regent Theatre tonight.

According to a writer in the "Film Daily," New York, the new Samuel Goldwyn production, "Come and Get It," starting tomorrow at the Regent Theatre, stands out as a perfect example of the truism that it takes a com- . bination of the gifts of fine writing, directing, and acting to make an outstanding picture. Starting with these three prime essentials, "Come and Get It" emerges as one of the most satisfying masterpieces of sheer entertainment that Hollywood . has ever produced. It is released by United Artists. Behind these three essentials was the guiding mind of a genius in film production—Samuel Goldwyn, an exacting taskmaster, it is true, but'an appreciative one. "Come and Get It" is described as "a gusty and robust film that will send thrills down your spine arid the red blood singing through your veins." It catches the spirit of the great north-west lumber country and brings it to the screen with a vividness that is startlingly real. Edna Ferb<;r, who wrote "Show Boat," has again concocted a great drama which, has all the ingredients of universal appeal. One personality dominates the cast—Edward Arnold, rising from lumberjack to, timber baron through a blustering, masterful career. Frances Farmer, as the dance hall girl in the lumber country, contributes a classic part; while later, playing the part of her daughter, she offers a study in contrasting roles that is really amazing. Other members of the large cast are Joe] McCrea, Walter Brennan, and Mady Christians.
