TO-NIGHT AND SATURDAY... UNUSUAL PRISON SCENES IN ‘•THE BIG HOUSE” CARRY TREMENDOUS PUNCH. “The Big House” Metro-Gpldwyn-Mayer’s all-talking drama of penitentiary riots now playing at the Princess Theatre, might be compared to the biggest of pictures. Three central characters work out a dramatic story against seething hates and a desperate prison riot quelled with machine guns and tanks. A sympathetic, love story of a hoy and a girl is adroitly woven into the thrills, realisms, her. rors and heart throbs of the massive play. The three central , characters are played by Chester Morris, Wallace Beery and Robert Montgomery, as three cell mates in the penitentiary. Friendship, jealousy, the corrosion ol souls, and regeneration , through love and'turmoil are eleniehts of the picture.
