“JUST IMAGINE.”
Raymond Novarro’s fine picture “ Call of the Flesh ” heads the programme at the Regent Theatre. „ Occasionally in the parade of American pictures there comes the magnificent stranger. Such a stranger, with an absolutely new flavour—pungent, arresting and entirely individual—is to be found in J" Just Imagine!” the talkie which will begin on Saturday at the Regent. One writer has said of “ Just Imagine”: “This picture is as exciting in its novelty as a lump of ambergris in a vat of bay-rum. For once the Americans have forgotten their vast panoplies of rubber-stamps and formulae; in ‘Just Imagine!’ they have given us something that will tickle the intelligent besides enchanting the mass. This mainly because, simultaneously with the broad stream of its story and sentiment, there runs an undercurrent of deliciously sardonic satire.”
