THE REGENT.
“EBB TIDE" SHOWING TONIGHT. “Ebb Tide,” the first sea story filmed in Technicolour will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight at 7.45. Taken from a story by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, “Ebb Tide” presents the famed European character actor, Oscar Homolka in an American picture for the first time. Homolka lives up to expectations in his characterisation of Captain Thorbecke, a broken sea captain who has lost his ship and papers through drunkenness. He has the knack of making even the worthless Thorbecke a likeable character. His supporting cast is more than the name implies, since it includes Frances Farmer, Ray Milland, Lloyd Nolan and Barry Fitzgerald of the Abbey Players of Dublin. Milland and Miss Farmer supply the romantic interest of the tale. Their love story is a strange one, for Milland is a beachcomber friend of Homolka’s while Miss Farmer is the orphaned daughter of a sea captain, who meets him while he and Homolka are planning to steal her ship. Reserves at W. G. Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
