Big City Thrills In Plaza Film
Highlighting the adventurous life history of five pals who emerge from one of the toughest 'districts in New York, “The Devil’s Party,” now showing at the Plaza, stars Victor McLaglen in one of his famous he-man roles. Adapted for the screen from a novel by Borden Chase, this picture delineates the enduring friendships and fierce loyalties that develop among •children who grow up together in, a great city. One of these youths in manhoo'd becomes a wealthy and ruthless night club proprietor, a part played by the brawny McLaglen. Two others become policemen and still another a priest. The only 'girl they ever welcomed as a boon companion and member of their “gang,” develops into a beautiful night club singer. Romance, ambition and even the shadow of crime, engulf one or another of them as they fight for place and prestige in the world, but in the end the enduring tics of friendship bind them 1 together. Beautiful Beatrice Roberts, Paul Kelly. William Gargan, Frank Jenks, John Gallaudct. Edward Gargan and Joe Downing have important roles. Excellent supports, including a vivid screening of the sensational Lcuis-Schmeling world championship boxing contest make up a fine programme.
