THE REGENT.

“THESE THREE.” “These Three” is to be screened at the Regent Theatre again to-day at 2.15 p.m. and finally to-night at 7.45. Reserves at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. COMING TO-MORROW. “A TALE OF TWO CITIES.” Scenes of (intimate romance and scenes of spectacular grandeur vie for supremacy in “A Tale of Two Cities,” starring Ronald Colman, which comes to the Regent Theatre to-morrow. The picture has a cast of 112 favourite stars and featured players. Appearing with Colman are such celebrities as Elizabeth Allan, Blanche, Yurka, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone and Henry B. Walthall. Probably there are few who are unfamiliar with the general plot of the famous Dickens story, which has stood for almost a hundred years as a masterpiece. Essentially, it is the story of Sydney Carton, a brilliant wastrel, played by Colman, and his hopeless love for Lucie Manette, played by Elizabeth Allan. Even if Lucie were not in love with Charles Darnay, played by Donald Woods, the affair could not have reached a happy culmination. It was doomed from the start. This is the situation upon which the story is built, and it mounts with emotional climaxes > until it reaches its tremendous denouement with Carton’s sacrifice of his life for the happiness of the woman he loves. In the midst of pomp and of tumult, the camera follows faithfully the group of men and women whose lives are vitally affected by the events of world importance taking place around them, and through the pattern of vastness are woven the threads of tender romance, high adventure and glorious sacrifice.
