Attraction at the i -- "The Terror" Has Proven Itself the Acme of Mod- * érn Thrillers -- Here for : Three Days : "The Terror," as a stage play, has held the imagination of Lon- doners for over three years, and now Warner Bros. have made it into a screen play, which in grue- 'someness, shivers, shocks and laughter far exceeds the original. The celebrated scenarist, Harvey Gates, did the adaptation of the Edgar Wallace play. Roy Del Ruth directed, and he has not stop- ped at guiding the antics of the past, but has insisted that settings augment the ghostly thriller in ev- ery way possible. Del Ruth also directed the building of the apparently century- old English manor house which is locale for the story. The "ancient" 'mansion has sliding panels, vast smoky glimmering fires, and an uderground torture chamber sug- gestive of the dark ages where the people take part in spooky seances, sitting with joined hands about the great table in the cobwebby room haunted by the grisly "Terror" itself, May McAvoy plays the daughter of the aged doctor who keeps the house as a "rest cure." She is the | especial object of the attacks of "The Terror," and is tossed be- tween knives, shadowy clutching hands, weird suitors and shaky, panic-stricken ladies--the most up- roariously ludicrous of whom fis, of course, Louise Fazenda.

Younger Set Among the many laudatory com- ments which have been accorded filming of 'Stolen Love," the newspaper' serial story from the pen of Hazel Livingston which held millions of readers enthralled dur- ing its recent publication, is one worthy of note, which is a tribute to the skill of - Director Lynp Shores. 1t is that the players in the lead- ing roles, in the sequences follow- ing the launching of the narra- tive, do not appear to be acting before the camera, There is a striking naturalness about the actions and reactions of Marceline Day, Owen Moore, Rex Lease, Betty Blythe and other members of the cast in the scenes depicting a night club, a modiste's fashion show and similar colorful settings which dispels every sem- blance of the theatrical. This refreshing spontaneity was | achieved, Director Shores explain- ed in discussing the production Naturalness in ; Feature "Stolen Newspaper Serial Story Re | Love" which' is showing here at the New Martin Theater, by the simple ex- pedient of not dirgcting those ex- perienced artists to any extent in such scenes, With a keén psycho- logy which has gone far toward his success in filmdom, Shores prac- tically permitted them to 'play around" as though they were actu- ally in the surroundings portrayed, while following the lines of the story, The result is a delightful lightness of touch that gives the picture a strong appeal. "All of these players of mine are young--all are in the spirit of the hour and all have had many contacts with night club cafes, mediste's studious and the rest of it," Director Shores said. "What would be gained, then, by my ad- vising Marceline Day, for instance; just what to do when Owen Moore invites her to dance--or my tell- ing Rex Lease ! w to act when a: rival takes his girl out on the floor away from him?--*They know--and they do just what chey would do in such circumstances."
