AMUSEMENTS

THE REGENT. “WE LIVE AGAIN.” “We Live Again,” which is to be shown again at the Regent Theatre to-night, is a United Artists’ production, a screen version of the late Count Leo Tolstoy’s remarkable story “Resurrection.” The leading parts are taken by Anna Sten and Fredric March, with Jane Baxter and C. Audrey Smith in important supporting roles. The tale is one of lives which move from joy and romance to tragedy and at last to peace and contentment won at the cost of much suffering and travail. The central parts are played by a man and a woman who experience strange extremes of fortune. It is the story of a great conflict between good and evil and also of sympathy, sacrifice and gallant courage. The wide sweep of the narrative gives the film spectacular quality in its presentation of the colour and surge of great events. Many aspects of life in the Russia of Tolstoy’s time and of the convict trail to Siberia are strikingly pictured. Seats may be reserved at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. “CHU CHIN CHOW.” A screen version of the famous “Chu Chin Chow,” which had a re-cord-breaking success as a stage play, comes to the Regent Theatre on Sat. urday. It is a lavish and spectacular production, with noted players in the principal roles, including George Robey as Ali Baba, and Anna May Wong as Zahrat. Scats may bo reserved at Perry’s, ’phono 2496. COSY THEATRE. “LOST LADY.” Barbara Stanwyck has the leading part in “Lost Lady,” which comes to the Cosy Theatre this evening. The role is said to bo the most dynamic in which Miss Stanwyck has yet appeared. The picture, based on a story by Willa Cather, famous novelist and winner of the Pulitzer prize, is a most unusual romance in which a beautiful young girl is lost in the maze of her own complex love emotions. The picture opens with a dire tragedy in which the girl’s lover is shot down at her feet on the very eve of their wedding by the husband of a woman with whom ho had been trifling. Miss Stanwyck has four leading men in the picture. The first, slain' bv a bullet, is tho handsome Phillip Reed, recently from the Broadway stage. The second is Frank Morgan, in the role of a great corporation lawyer who marries her without asking for love, content with her trust and friendship. The others are Lyle Talbot and Ricardo Cortez The storv develops to an unusual climax. There is a talented supporting cast and the picture is lavishly produced. Seats mav be reserved at Perrv’s, ’Mi one 2496.
