THE REGENT.

“RENDEZVOUS.” “Rendezvous,” which will be shown again at the Regent Theatre to-day at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m., is the startling, dramatic story of the U.S. Cryptographic ! Bureau as told by the man who organised and headed it throughout the World War. It is crammed with the intimate revelations of the secret counter-espionage department, where foreign diplomatic or enemy communications were secretly “tapped,” decoded and deciphered for official information. Through this amazing tale of codes and ciphers, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have woven a romance with Willian Powell as the chief cryptographer and Rosalind Russell. Powell, aided by his experience in former famous mystery screen plays, contributes one of his finest screen performances. Rosalind Russell, in her role as Joel Carter, the daughter of the Assistant Secretary of War, has achieved the Hollywood miracle of appearing in nine pictures during her nine months as a screen actress and of rising to leading woman in less than a year. Binnie Barnes, the cheerful comedienne from London, appears as Olivia, the alluring spy who almost upsets all of Powell's secret work . Lionel Atwill steps outof his usual screen villainy to play the role of Brennan, British attache to the Black Chamber. Reserves at W. G. Perry's, ’phone 2496.
