DO NOT MISS IT
“PIMPERNEL SMITH”
PROGRAMME AT REGENT
LESLIE HOWARD AT HIS BEST
The greatest picture of this or any year, “Pimpernel Smith,” starring Leslie Howard will sl.uw at the Regent Theatre to-night, Saturday and Monday. Here is one picture you must not miss, even if it takes your last drop of petrol. If you have no petrol, it’s well worth walking miles to see. Previewed recently in Wellington, without any fanfare of trumpets, those privileged to see it were most enthusiastic about this 'British picture, produced in England, in the midst of alarms and alerts. A story based on fact. That elusive, daring, mysterious figure who, after the collapse of France, helped to smuggle refugees from France to England under the very noses of the Gestapo. His exploits thrilled the nation and were the despair of the German agents. His identity was cloaked under the title of “Pimpernel Smith” —a modern “Scarlet ’Pimpernel.”
Here is thrilling adventure to stir the heart of every Britisher who loves courage, daring and adveriture! Here is Leslie Howard at his best!
