THE REGENT.

“THESE THREE.” Fourteen of Hollywood’s most gifted child actresses support Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon and Joel McCrea in Samuel Goldwyn’s production, “These Three,” a powerful drama which will be shown at the Regent Theatre today at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m. The story of this Lillian Hellman screen play is laid in a small girls* school which Martha Dobie (Miriam Hopkins) and Karen Wright (Merle Oberon) establish with the aid of Joe Cardin, a young local doctor (Joel McCrea), whom both love. The whole school is harried by the presence of Mary Tilford, a vicious child given to glib lying and bullying of the other children. To evade punishment for a misdemeanour, she runs away from school inventing a malicious lie involving these three innocent adults as her reason. An ugly scandal develops, as a result of whifch the school is lost, the romance which had developed between Karen and Joe is broken and the lives of all three seem irreparably ruined until Martha succeeds in bringing the truth to light and the story to a happy ending.
