REGENT THEATRE PETER B. KYNE’S THRILLING STORY IN TECHNICOLOUR, “VALLEY OF THE GIANTS." The stirring saga, of lusty, o:g----heartcd men who strove to save the magnificent redwood forests of America from ruthless and insensate destruction is unfolded in “Valley o! the Giants,” which will begin a season at the Regent Theatre to-day. Filmed entirely in superb natural Technicolour, the picture brings the more intimate as well as the more apparent beauties of the giant _ tiees to theatre audiences. The felling ol a tree is an exhilarating experience, and often a dangerous one, which calls for men with iron nerves, capable of swift decision and action. Living in the clean air of the forest-, clad mountains, the lumberjacks learned to love and respect Nature, and none knew better than they that a nations wealth is measured by the extent of its timber belts. Such a man is Wayne Morris, who Rives a masterly portrayal as the young, contractor ' who fights the exploitation methods of city millionaires. Claire Trevor and Alan Hale are also in the cast.
