REGENT THEATRE
“THE THREE MAXIMS.” »' The excitement and glamour of circus life are well reproduced in “The Three Maxims,” the film which commences a season to-day at the Regent Theatre. It is a British production of a theme that is seldom handled, but the difficulties that faced the producer have been so neatly disposed of as to make a well-connected and entertaining story, full of tense moments and rich in humour. There is jealousy, hatred and romance in the story, and it has all been brought out by the acting of three very line artists—Tullio Carminatti, Leslie Banks, and Anna Neagle. The three vie for the honours in acting, and it is hard to say with assurance which of the trio is best. But for the excellence of the acting, it is sure, the picture would not be more than average entertainment. The story is gripping, but there are times when the action must necessarily be restrained and the really tense come at the end of the picture. The story is one of a troupe of trapeze artists who rise from the obscurity of country circuses to the stardom of Paris.
