REGENT, EPSOM
“SIMON THE JESTER” One of the mosts unusual situations in “Simon the Jester,” the picture attraction which will be shown at the Regent, Epsom, to-night, is found in the long voyage made by Eugene O’Brien, who enacts the title role in the production, to locate the husband of the woman he loves —and whom he finds conducting a gambling den in Algiers. A most unusual situation arises; when O’Brien finds his man and makes his mission known. The husband, who is separated from the wife, misinterprets O’Brien’s mission, and they engage in a fight which brings about a condition which permits O’Brien to marry the lady in question. Lillian Rich enacts the role of the heroine, and Edmund Burns, Henry B. Walthall, and William Platt give excellent support. George Melford directed the production for Metropolitan Pictures. It is flavoured with romance, sentiment, thrills, and humour.
