SOLVING MODERN CRIME
METHODS REVEALED IN NEW FILM A revelation of the inner workings of a metropolitan police force in tracking criminals is made in the murder mystery drama, ‘ From Headquarters,’ featuring George Brent and Margaret Lindsay, which comes to the Strand Theatre to-morrow. The story opens with the murder of a millionaire Broadway “ playboy,” and follows the search for the murderer through scientific investigations at police headquarters from the finger-printing of suspects to their inquisition in the darkened third degree room. The plot is said not only to be one of the most baffling and thrilling of murder mysteries, but it is set in the colourful background of police headquarters, showing modern implements used in the detection of criminals, the radio and teletype rooms, the chemical laboratory, where stains are tested to determine whether or not they are human blood, the booking room, the “ bull pen,” prison cells, and offices of detectives and executives. There is an unusually large and talented cast of players. *
