ROSE MARIE AT REGENT.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. In a production sweeping with song and scouted with romance, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, those celebrated co-stars of “Naughty Marietta,” make their final appearance at the Regent Theatre to-night in the wellknown characters of the light opera, “Rose Marie.” Under their magic spell the'full beauty of “The Indian Love Call,” “Rose Marie,, 1 Love You,” “Song of the Mounties,” and other classics Jfrom the Herbert Stothart-Rudolf 1-Timl score, live again. Filmed almost entirely out-of-doors, in the mountain-like country of the Sierra Nevadas, the production is a pictorial sensation. Glimmering lakes, towering peaks, dangerous passes, all the beauty of nature serves as background for the romantic saga of the Great Northwest.

, "Rose Marie” is the story of a Canadian grand opera singer who travels incognito into the backwoods regions in search of her brother, a criminal from justice. Also searching for the brother i? Sergeant Bruce, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They meet and fall in love,, until she realises the mission of the other. The crashing climax and poignant ending of the story will ■be remembered long after most pictures are forgotten.
