NORMA TALMADGE INNEW ROLE AT REGENT MONDAY Plays Daring Part in Film "The Woman Disputed" With Star Cast © Nérma Talmadge 'plays the most daring role of her career in "The Woman Disputed," an' adaptation of the sensational stage success of the same title, which 1s coming to the Regent Theatre on Monday. he United Artists picture was di- rected by Henry King, veteran meg- aphone chief whose string of suc- cesses include Lillian Gish's "The White Sister," Richard -Barthel- mess's "Tol'able David" and the all- star feature, "Stella Dallas." Sam Taylor, Harold Lloyd's fam- ous director, maker of "Girl Shy" and "Safety Last," was co-director with Mr. King. Miss Talmadge"s second vehicle for United Artists has its locale on the Austrian-Russian border before and during the World War. ' The earlier scenes reveal the star as a flashily-garbed girl whose beauty makes her a conspicuous figure in the night-life of an Austrian city. She is loved by two men, former friends, whom the war makes ene- mies as well as rivals. The supporting cast of "The Wo- man Disputed" 1s headed by Gilbert Roland, the leading man who won his first big success with Miss Tal- madge in "Camille" and later again scored heavily opposite her in "The Dove." Roland plays a dashing Aus- trian army officer, Other well known actors in the cast are Arnold Kent, Gustav Von Seyffertitz, Michael Vavitch, Boris de Fas and Gladys Brockwell De Fas' work in "Tempest," the new John 'Barrymore picture, won him an important role in "The Woman Dis- He is a European brought to America by Barrymore.

More than ten thousand gallons of sea water surged into the cham- ber while the men fought im- pending death by escaping in- to another compartment. It was one of the scenes in a picture which had to be perfect without rehearsals or retakes, for once the water had poured into the chamber it was wrecked beyond sal- vage. The equipment used in the scene inchiding motors, torpedo tubes, gauges and the like originally cost more than $20,000. Most of the apparat- us was destroyed by the wat- er. Robert Florey, a Frenchman who has a number of artistic pictures to his credit, ACTION IN FILM "Submarine," the Columbia Pic- ture, which is coming to the New Maritn Theatre, contains some of the greatest underwater action it has ever been our privilege to wit- ness, Jack Holt has & powerful role Martin Theatre, contains some «f ceptionally hazardous feats at the bottom of the sea. He is ably sup- ported by Ralph Graves and Dor- othy Revier. The former portrays Holt's pal, and in some scenes al- most steals the picture, Miss Revier has a difficult role as the dance hall queen, who marries in haste and repepts at leisure, She has some exceptionally fine scenes with -Graves and some that are highly dramatic with Holt. The plot revolves around two buddies, who have formed a Damon and Pyhtias friendship. Through a twist of fate one buddy makes love to the other's wife, unknow- ingly, but when it is found out the action is fast and furious. It com- mences in a small cottage and ends at the bottom of the sea where a submarine lies with its nose bur- ied in the mud. The men are trap- ped and it appears that it will be impossible to reach them. Here Holt comes into his own. He descends to the bottom in diving suit, at-- taches the oxygen line and arranges the stage so the boat can be raised.
