AMUSEMENTS

THE REGENT “The B*>a God” will be iwdsontetl fat the las! tiiiie to-night. It would be hard to conceive a picture more original, more thrilling, and move entertaining than this production. The buttoth bf the sea in all its reality has bebn taken. The hero of the story is seen 15 fathoms deep working on d pedrl bed. The plot of “The Sea God’* is flwst intense. Filled with swift action attd potverful drama from start to finish, it carries its audience spellbound to a mighty climax, imagine d malt in a diver’s suit, helittOt and all, escaping from a band of savages only tb run right into their arms, and then be mistaken for a newlv-arisen god. Such is one of the scenes in this talkie. -Fay Wray, Richard Arlen, and Eugene Pallette are the chief players. The new attraction to-morrow will be “The Better Wife,” featuring Ruth Chattorton and Clive Brook. This production is declared to be the apex of high-class entertainment, and no picture patron should miss it.

MAJESTIC THEATRE To-night is tlie last presentation of “Ettmnnce of the Rio Grande.” This Stirling, heart-appealing story of old Mexico is an attraction that must, by its Very reality, appeal to everyone. Seldom'has the Majestic had a picture so full of melodious song and thrilling drama. Warner ‘Baxter, who plays the part of a half-American lialf-Mexicau, ' has sworn never to see his grandfather, the imperious wealthy Don Alverez, because of the memory of his mother, who was turned away from the old man's door for marrying a gringo. In a fight with bandits, Baxter makes his escape badly wounded aud is given refuge in the Very home he swore he wodid never enter. The story is full of plot arid counter-plot, most of tho drama being supplied by Antonio Moreno. Mona Moris sings exquisitely, while the Broadway star, Mary Duncan, is good in the role of Carlotta, the young Mexican beaiity. Td-tnoitow, a complete change of programme will be presented. The very human and appealing “Richest Man in the World,” is full of laughter and pathos. A large cast of players enact thfi storv. The leading loles are portrayed % Louis Malili, Leila Hyains, Robert Montgomery, Mary Doran, and Elliot Niig^nt.
