THE REGENT.

“THE SONG YOU GAVE ME.”

All the ingredients that go to make a really brilliant picture are said to be included in ‘‘The Song You Gave [ Me,” the new 8.1. P. film which comes ito the Regent Theatre to-day, when it will be shown at matinee and evening performancees. The picture is described as a musical comedy romance of refreshing gaiety and subtle weave, guaranteed to charm the most ardent and critical tfrlmgoers. Two of the brightest stars in the film constellation, Bebe Daniels and Victor Varconi, were specially chosen to play the leads; Paul Stein, the eminent American director, was responsible for the production; the story is an original one, which giyes ample scope to the director and stars, and the backgrounds, both musical and artistic, are said to be as ravishing as anything that has . emanated from Hollywood. The story is that of Mitzi Hansen, spoilt darling of Vienna, and employer of a secretary whose superb indifference and haughty efficiency, together with his personal eharm and ability as a song-writer render him desirable as an admirer. Just when the singer’s coterie had gathered at the theatre for her evening performance, however, he would vanish to appear again precisely at eleven—the very embodiment of secretarial servitude. While tracking down his dark secret, Mitzi discovered another which gladdened her heart and made her forget all but the man she loved. Bebe Daniels, as Mitzi, is seen in what is described as one of the finest performances of her career. She is heard in two numbers notable for their haunting refrains.
