AMUSEMENTS

Town Hall Paramount’s “Straight From the Shoulder." which opens to-day at the Town Hall Theatre, furnishes solid entertainment. Katherine Locke, late of the legitimate stage, makes her screen debut in the Him. and Ralph Bellamy is the hero. “Kxperfs Opinion,’ the new Paramount British picture coming to-day to the Town Hall Theatre, concerns a music-hall double-gnu act in which one of the partners is shot dead. As a result one partner is tried for murder, but is acquitted. (he jury returned a verdict of “Murder by a person or persons unknown.” A thrilling climax at the tlnal court scene reveals the murderer and brings the picture to an exciting conclusion. Leslie Perrins, Lucille Lisle, and Kim Peacock are cast in the principal roles. The Regent Loretta Young and Frauehot Tone form a delightful new romantic screen team in Metro-Goldwyn Mayer's “The Unguarded Hour," now" showing at the Ilegent Theatre. The new picture, tilled with romance. drama, and mystery, gives both players an excellent opportunity for their talents. Moving with lightning speed, the Lawrence Weiugarten production concerns a prosecuting attorney who sends men to their doom by his brilliant use of circumstantial evidence. When he is caught by circumstances for a crime he has not committed his wife comes to his aid to save his life. Roland Young, as the friend of the family, is exceedingly funny, while Lewis Stone is sterling as the head of Scotland Yard.
