South American Romance At Regent
Sigrid Gurie, Basil Rathbone and Victor McLaglen are the stars of “Rio,” now showing at the Regent Theatre. The story tells of a Parisian cafe singer who is married to a wealthy scoundrel but falls in love with a restless, reckless American engineer in Rio. Hal Mohr, ace cameraman, sent a crew down to Rio for the actual scenes of the Pre-Lenten Carnival Season, and Hollywood magic provided the balance
of the pictorial background. Robert Cummings, already a Broadway favourite and featured in Deanna Durbin’s “Three Smart Girls Grow Up,” portrays the engineer with admirable restraint. Basil Rathbone enacts the character of a crooked financier, who is trapped by his defalcations and shipped off to a tropical prison camp. Victor McLaglen is seen as his aide and loyal servant.
