REGENT THEATRE

“BAK 20 JUSTICE” AND “YOU AND ME.” Romance, in the person of beautiful Gwen Gaze, makes William Boyd turn from ranching to gold mining in Paramount's latest Hopalong Cassidy drama, “Bar 20 Justice,” which comes to-day to the Regedit Theatre. When Miss Gaze’s husband is murdered and her mine attacked by a band of gold thieves, Boyd, playing the hard-riding Mulford hero, becomes a miner long enough to solve a mystery which has the whole southwest puzzled. George Raft, who scored a sensational hit in Paramount’s “Souls at Sea,” plays the part of a reformed convict with Sylvia Sidney in Paramount's new film, “You and Me,” on the same programme. Raft and Miss Sidney are supported by an excellent cast that includes Harry Carey, George E. Stone, Warren Hymer and an old favourite of the silent days. Jack Mulhall. The story of “You and Me” concerns the problems of a paroled convict, played by Miss Sidney, who, rather than lose the man she loves, violates the terms of her parole which forbid her to marry. The act brings dramatic consequences; a climax is reached when Raft, embittered by discovering his wife's past, turns to a life of crime. She prevents him and saves him from himself. “Bulldog Drummond's Peril.” An exeting film, “Bulldog Drummond’s Peril,” is to screen on Saturday at the Regent Theatre. The discovery by a British chemist of a process for the manufacture of diamonds is at the bottom of the thrilling events in lhe film. When news of the chemist’s discovery leaks out the leaders of a powerful diamond syndicate use all the power at their command, first to buy the chemist off and when he tells them that there is nothing doing then to dispose of him and his notes so that the world at large will not know of the manufacturing pro- ■ cess. John Howard and Louise CampI bell are starred. In the second pic- ! ture, “College Swing,” the story centres around an American college I and as in most pictures of the kind there are song and dance numbers. Edward Everett Horton, Jackie Coogan, and his wife, Betty Grable, are in the cast.
