You will be just as surprised as they were when you ses what hap- penned by Frances NoYes Hart as the jury in "The Bellamy Trial" to play at the Regent Theatre. For this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer mystery drama is a masterpiece of suspense, a gripping courtroom epic that will thrill you with the realism of the trial scenes and character delineations. You may have read the slory penne dby Frances Noyes Hart as a magazine serial but when you see Monta Bell's fiimization of the murder narrative you will find something new in the way of cine- matic story-telling that will bring it before you as a fresh plot. To begin with, you will not real- ize you are seeing 'The Bellamy Trial" until the first reel is well under way. It comes to you via a current M-G-M newsreel that car- ries the audience from news scenes into the courtroom where the mur- der case is being brought to trial before a jury. As for the ending--after you see it, don't spoil the surprise for your friends by telling them about it, You will try to guess it, of course, as the picture goes on. But abruptly and without warning that Bellamy Trial" Newest Release Coming to Regent it attains a new pinnacle for cine- matic suspense treatment, Leatrice JPoy as the beautiful murder defendant gives a remark- able performance that well may be hailed as a triumph for her first free-lance starring effort, George Barraud is ideally cast opposite her as the husband whose loyalty is unshaken by a mass of circum- stantial evidence. Kenneth Thomp- son is the man on trial with Miss Joy. The pair are accused of the murder of Mimi Bellamy, wife of the accused man, who once was en- gaged to the husband of the beau- tiful murder suspect. The putcome of the trial leaves the murder still unsolved but in the very last foot- age of the feature the mystery is dispelled, In bringing the the mystery story one of the most elaborate casts ever seen on the screen and the Bell has surrounded Miss Joy with pains he has taken toward realistic portrayals is evidenced in the re- markable court scenes he has filmed.

An Exciting Picture When properly handled, the newspaper theme is one which {is most potent for the making of re- ally exciting screen fare; amd "Freedom of the. Press' which opens at the New Martin Theatre Monday Is such a picture. Motion picture critics, being newspaper writers, always look for technical flaws. "Freedom of the Press," despite the fact that most of it concerns a newspaper, has no flaws so we were able to judge the picture from the standpoint of entertainment alone. 1t is really one of the most thril- ling films to come to the New Mar- tin Theatre in. many months. It is capably directed and has a strong story. Lewis Stone is the star, and that means, immediately, that the rest of the cast must be good, too. Stone gives a powerful picture of an un- derworld leader who is a respected member of society, giving parties for his ward and donating large sums to charity, while at the same time being the boss of the crooked political world, intent on a land grab of a big city park. Marceline Day is appealing a# his ward and the other half of the love interest is supplied with feel- ing by Malcolm McGregor, sont of the newspaper editor who has.sét himself against the boss. The edi tor is played by Henry B. Walthall a role reminiscent of that played in real life by Don Mellett, the slain editor of Canton, Ohfo.

In fact, it would seem that the story by Peter B. Kyne from which this was' taken, was actually based on the murder of Don Mellett, the courageous Canton, Ohio, editor. George Melford deserves the highest praise for maintaining the spirit of the story and the suspense from beginning to end. The- supporting cast {is welk chosen, Hayden Stevenson is good 'as the star reporter, Tom Ricketts, as the city editor, rep- resets a member of the fine old school of journalism. Robert Em- mett O'Connor, Dobert Ellis and Boris Baronoff are menacing as underworld lieutenants, If you are all interested in the newspaper that Yoh read daily and who isn't?--don't fail to see "Fredom of the Press."
