TALKIES AT SOUTHBRIDGE

"GUILTY HANDS" TOMORROW.

In "Guilty Hands" picture fans have the last word in mystery thrills, written for the screen by Bayard Veiller, master dramatist. Into it he has injected the weirdest plot he ever conceived. It is grand entertainment, baffling and startling from start to finish. The plot concerns a veteran prosecutor and criminal attorney. He has sent men to the electric chair and saved others from it. He finds himself obliged to kill a wealthy client to spare his own daughter an ugly disgrace. His astuteness enables him to make the crime appear a suicide. But a jealous woman discovers his secret, only to be silenced by his threat to place her in the electric chair instead of himself. What happens after" that cannot be told here. It would spoil the spectator's enjoyment of the startling climax. Kay Francis heads the supporting cast as the woman nemesis who tracks Barrymore's criminal path. Madge Evans, the erstwhile child star who grew up into a beautiful leading] lady, is his daughter. William Bakewell is teamed with Miss Evans in carrying the romantic interest. Others featured in the capable cast are C. Aubrey Smith, Polly Moran, Alan Mowbray, Forrester Harvey, Charles Crockett and Henry Barrows. A fine supporting programme has been arranged, headed by Charlie Chase in a comedy "Skip The Maloo." Metrotone News will be there and Flip the Frog also in a cartoon, "Movie Mad." Fox Australian News will furnish the latest news items concerning Australia and New Zealand.
