Regent Theatre Finally To-night: “Goodbye MfrChips.” Commencing • Friday: “The Gold Rush,” featuring Charilie Chaplin. The slightly older generation remembers Charlie Chaplin much as it remembers its youth. At the mention of his magic name, the moustache, the derby, the cane and the baggy trousers —an unforgettable scene from a favourite picture brings a smile to the lips. Now the release of “The Gold Rush,” one of Charlie’s most brilliant comedies which comi mences at the Regent Theatre on Friday will be welcomed by a generation which will have a chance to I judge for itself and to ponder the tributes showered upon Charlie’s head by the great and near-great. Charlie portrays a hard-luck prospector in the mad gold rush days of the Klondike. Chaplin wrote and directed the production, in which he is first and foremost the beloved little tramp who wears an air of romantic hunger—forever seeking romance and forever taking a pathetic stand against the powers that be. The supporting players who are well known to the older generation include old favourites as Mark Swam, | Georgia Hale and Tom Murray.
