RECENT THEATRE

LAST NIGHT OF “SKY BRIDE

The thrilling aerial Him, “Sky Bride,” starring .Richard Alien and Jack Oakic, will he shown at tlie Regent Theatre for the last tvme to-night. COMMENCING SATURDAY. “RED DUST.” The brutal, fever-bound, dangerous, but withal glamorous existence of life on a rubber plantation an Imlo-China, is revealed in ail its dramatic perspective in “Rod .Dust,” co-starring Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, which will open at the Regent Thcaiio to-morrow. Apparently no effort was spared to bring the Wilson Oohison stage hit to the screen with all its original power. To put it mildly, this picture has “everything,” from sizzlnig love scenes between Gable aud the seductive Aliss Harlow, to intensely exciting situations in wpicli the entire cast is involved. Gable oilers a brilliant performance as the brutalised plantation overseer who repulses a girl of liis own kind when a. young engineer, played by Gene Raymond, brings his beautiful young wife (Mary Astor) to the tropics. Aliss Harlow is splendid as the woman of easy virtue who eventually finds the man she really wants to settle down with, and then has to put up a terrific fight for him. The story is one tiiat has been very wisely classified for adults only. The supporting programme winch is a particularly fine one, includes “Sealskins,” a riotous 3-reel. comedy co-fdathring those popu lar comediennes, Zasu Pitts and Thelma Todd, the twelfth and final episode of “Detective Lloyd,” the ninth of the Bobby Jones golfing series entitled “The Driver,” and News of t}io World by Metro-tone Gazette,
