THE REGENT.

TWO FEATURE PROGRAMME.

With Frances Farmer now under contract to Paramount in the leading role, “Too Many Parents,” which boasts five of Hollywood’s leading juvenile actors in its cast, will be shown at the Regent. Theatre to-day at 2.15 and 8.0 p.m. as one of two features. The youngsters who support Miss Farmer, Lester Matthews and Henry Travers in this picture of modern marriage and children of divorce, are George Ernest, Sherwood Bailey, Buster Phelps, Douglas Scott and Billy Lee, all veteran screen performers, some of them graduates of the famous Our Gang comedy school. A drama tingling with excitement and suspense, Paramount’s “Desert Gold,” is the second feature. The stirring tale of a white man’s treachery in his effort to obtain the last of an Indian tribe's wealth, is the basis for one of the most moving tales of the Old West. Tom Keene is excellent as the young engineer who falls in love with Marsha Hunt, a charming and capable actress. Monte Blue convincingly the mine promoter who kidnaps the Indian, portrayed by Larry “Buster” Crabbe, while the comedy moments in the picture are well carried by Raymond Hatton and Robert Cummings. “Desert Gold,” with its intrigue, its romance, its bitter fighting, is an actionful and colourful romance.
