An unalloyed , treat is in store for patrons at the De Luxe to-night, whjen the “13th Juror” makes it appearance. For sheer interest and story value, we believe that this picture marks one of the spots of the current cinema season. The “Thirteenth Juror” is the screen version of the sensationally famous stage play “The Counsel For »The Defence.” Francis X. Buchman, dean of all motion picture stars (who wi!> be remembered by his .portrayal of Messala in “Ben-Hur”) heads the stellar cast with the able support of Anna Q. Nilsson. ’ The story concerns the love of Henry Desmond and Richard Marsden lor Helen Fraine, who eventually marries Marsden, but he> has not tared cs ; Mvcix as Desmond who Ini become a successful attorney, and political powers are trying to frame Desmond with Marsde.V’s Wife.
