STRAND
‘ Great Guy,’ now at the Strand, presents inimitable James Cagney with all tho thrills for which the popular redheaded star is famous, but offering him in a role such as his admirers have never before seen him. It differs entirely from any of his previous pictures in that it is not merely a pot pourri of, sequences loosely strung together, but is a motion picture play in every sense of the word, with a dramatic element introduced logically so that humour and drama is heightened most effectively. Mae Clarke plays the feminine lead opposite James Cagney. The associate feature, ‘ Thou Shalt Not Kill’,’ is a strong melodrama of the type of ‘ Full Confession,’ with Charles Bickford again donning a clergyman’s garb.
