NEW REGENT

“TALKIES” ON THURSDAY Collegiate prison football and a warden’s pretty daughter provide the funmaking impetus behind “Brotherly Love,” now at the New Regent Theatre, with Karl Bane and George K. Arthur sharing the comedy honours. In this new laugh riot the famous comedy team are shown behind the grey but kindly walls of “dear old Newberry” penitentiary—a sympathetic institution where pink tea and muffins take the place of bread and water, and the way of the transgressor is paved with roses. They fight to get in “Newberry.” and the guards on the walls are to keep other convicts from breaking in. They couldn't bribe a convict to leave. Proving itself a, photo-play of rare entertainment quality. Rod la Rocque’s new star picture, “Stand and Beliver,” featuring Lupe Velez and Warner Gland in liis support, is tlie second attraction at the New Regent, - -This is an exceptionally dramatic story of war and banditry in. Greece, in which. Mr. la Rocque appears to line advantage as an English cavalry officer, Miss Velez as a sprightly Grecian, maid, and Mr. Gland as it bandit chief. There are numerous engaging scenes, and much wholesome comedy. Gn Thursday next the New Regent Theatre will present a complete “alltalkie” programme in both the “shorts” and the main picture.

Tho booking arrangements are ad' vertised.
