REGENT THEATRE
"SPORTING BLOOD.” ■ The final screening of "Sporting Blood” takes place this evening at the Regent Theatre. .“BACK STREET.” The same sensational situations, the same wealth of emotional drama which made Fannie Hurst’s great novel, “Back Street,” one of the outstanding novels of the day, have been captured and put on the screen in Universal’s picturisation of the story which opens tomorrow at the Regent Theatre. Starring Charles Boyer and Margaret Sullavan, two of the most glamorous figures of the modern screen, Universal’s picture, "Back Street,” was directed by Robert Stevenson, brilliant young English novelist who recently went to Hollywood after serving for years as a director in the. British Isles and on the continent. The story of the picture covers the period from 1898 to 1930, with Cincinnati, Ohio, New York, and Paris as backgrounds. Miss Sullavan is seen as Ray Smith, the girl who is content to live in the back street of the life of a wealthy and successful man, sacrificing herself unselfishly' to help him in his worldfamous career. Excellent featurettes include a sensational Air Mail News of the Glasgow bombing, Malayan preparations and Britain’s defences against invasion. Plans are at Nimmo’s and the theatre.
