THE REGENT.

“SIX HOURS TO LIVE.”

Geneva, centre of international conferences and intrigue, provides the background for “Six Hours to Live,” the Fox Film production heading the new programme to be presented at the Regent Theatre this evening. Warner Baxter in the principal role is said to be as fine as he ever has been in any picture, as he gives a sincere interpretation of the romantic role of “Captain Paul Onslow,” international diplomat, that will long be remembered by all who see it. The story, briefly, centres about the efforts of Baxter, representing a small republic, to save his country from ruin by an unfair trading treaty which the world powers are trying to force through a session at the Peace Palace at Geneva. The novel manner in which Baxter foils efforts, makes for powerful drama. Baxter shares romantic interest with Miriam Jordan, a newcomer from the London and Broadway stages, and the ever-popular John Boles. George Marion does ah excellent job in the role of an eccentric scientist and Beryl Mercer is her usual sympathetic self as a war mother. Irene Ware makes a small part stand out.
