REGENT THEATRE: “FOLLOW THRU”- TO=NIGHT

Nancy Carroll and Charles Rogers are again uniled on the screen in Paramount’s “Follow Thru,” which shows at the Regent Theatre this evening. Supporting tlie work of, the stars are Zelma O’Neal and Jack Haley. Together this quartette prove a delightful four-some, mixing love and golf in a manner that is a joy to behold. In “Follow Thru,” Nancy Carroll plays , the role of a golf champion. Charles Rogers is a famous golf “pro.” Rogers takes one fleeting glance at Nancy and decides that he must help her with her golf. And Nancy, knowing a good man when she sees one, accepts his proposal, although it may be suspected that putting and driving are far from her mind. However, there is a blonde in the case and she causes no oncl of trouble by her “vamping” ways. There are q, number of tuneful songs featured in “Follow Thru.” “THE RIGHT TO LOVE” Miss Ruth Chatterton is the star of the new Paramount drama, “The Right to Love,” which shows at the Regent Theatre to-morrow (Saturday). Miss Chatterton plays three roles. At first, She is seen as Naomi Kellogg, a young, imaginative girl, to whom a brief, intense love brings a life of sorrow. Later, she plays Naomi Evans, the old and disillusioned wife of a man she lias never loved. And finally, she is cast as Brook Evans, Naomi’s impulsive, romantic daughter, who, like her mother, years before, seeks the love which will make her life full and complete. In these contrasted roles, Miss Chatterton does the finest work of her career, building her portrayals with deep insight that breathes life into three characters. By her splendid performances in “The Right to Love,” Miss Chatterton again proves the right to be called the most talented actress now appearing in talking pictures. The supporting cast is especially good, and includes Paul Lukas, Irving Pichel, Oscar Apfel and David Manners. Incidentally “The Right to Love” was recorded by a new sound process, which engineers have pronounced the most perfect recording device known to the industry. The minimising of all noise in the projection of a picture in the theatre, is a new step forward in the mechanics of talking pictures. MAJESTIC THEATRE “SIN TAKES A HOLIDAY” In her latest triumph, “Sin Takes a Holiday” which opens a two-day season with a matinee at tlie Majestic Theatre to-morrow, Constance Bennett, tiie distinguished Patlie star, demonstrates again in her inimitable fashion that women have this in common with the Northwest Mounted Police—they always get their man. In the role of secretary to a philandering millionaire, Miss Bennett is said to voice the epigrammatic dialogue with characteristic charm and to carry tlie role with a sophistry that is peculiarly her own. She has the clever support of Kenneth MacKeima, Basil Rathbone and Rita La Roy. The picture was directed by Paul Stein. “Sin Takes a Holiday” from its title to the fadeout, is characteristically gP Constance Bennett story and iic-cording to reviewers, the picture lifts this brilliant star into tlie heights of her most notable achievement. Box plans for all sessions are available at the M,[justice Coniectionei-y (telephone 186).
