Regent Theatre NOW SHOWING. Friday: “Sergeant York,” starring Garry Cooper.
A new mile-post in film entertainment will be passed this Friday at the Regent Theatre, when Warner Bros’ production. “Sergeant York”, a gripping, thrilling graphically and dramatically breathtaking saga of human courage and daring that is the more amazing because every bit of it is true. Starring Garry Cooper, in his greatest screen triumph. The story is at once both simple and exciting, because it shows both sides of the lives of the Tennessee, U.S.A, mountain folk —their .slow, easy-go-ing manner—and the force of power they can bring out when their tempers are aroused. York, a sharpshooting farmer who “gets religion” in his own manner, is a fellow who hates no one and registers as a Conscientious Objector when he is drafted during the World War. An understanding officer in his company, played by Stanley Ridges, shows him that sometimes violence is necessary to ensure freedom. York turns out to be not only .a good soldier, but one of the bravest of heroeg. The Management confidently recommends this outstanding production.
