EVERYBODY’S
“THE 13TH JUROR’ 1
"The 13th Juror,” a dramatic story of a murder trial, will be shown tonight at the Everybody’s Theatre. "The 13th Juror” is the screen version of the sensationally famous stage play, "Counsel for the Defence,” which was the talk of Broadway when first produced by the author, Henry Irving Dodge. Francis X. Bushman heads the stellar cast with the able support of Anna Q. Nilsson. The story concerns the love, of Henry Desmond and Richard Marsden for Helen Fraine, who eventually marries Marsden, but he has not fared as well as Desmond, who has become a successful attorney, and political powers are trying to frame Desmond with Marsden’s wife. George Quinn, a political boss, infers that Desmond should be watched and in sudden anger Marsden threatens the life of Quinn. Later, the same night of the quarrel, Desmond runs into Quinn, who is shot and killed in the ensuing battle. Desmond’s clothes are torn and a portion of his watch chain is lost, but he hides the evidence of battle. Marsden is held for the murder.
The second attraction on the programme is "No Control,” a delightful comedy, starring Harrison Ford. and Phyllis Haver.
