REGENT THEATRE
“THESE. THREE.’
The damage that could be caused m the lives of three young people by the malicious lie of an evil-minded little girl is the dramatic foundation for the plot, of “These Three.” which is screening at the Regent Theatre. It is brilliantly interpreted by an ideal cast headed by Merle Oberon. Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCren. Opening in an atmosphere of lightheartedness, “These Three” shows Martha and Karen (Miriam Hopkins and Merle Oberson respectively) grad unting from the university together and opening a school for girls in the country. Karen falls in love, with Dr. Cardin '(Joel McCren), and though it is obvious that Martha also has a silent, affection tor him. this does not mar the friendship of the two girls. Their pupils begin to arrive, and with them Diary Tilfowh and with the appearance of this child one senses immediately a menace to the happiness of the three .adults. Twelve year-old Bonita Granville takes the part of Mary, and although it is now a fairly common occurrence for child players .to take, dominating roles in screen plays, it. is certain that there has seldom boon a more convincing or powerful performance than lrers. One reviewer has likened her to a “little Charles Laughton.”
