MAJESTIC
to-day and to-night "The Bat Whispers," adapted, directed and dialogued by Roland West from a stage play, is the produeer's firsfc undertaking since "Alibi," United Artists' earliest all-talking feature and the screen hit that skyrocketed Chester Morris and several others to fame. The production incidentally marks Morris' first work for United Artists since "Alibi." His serviees have been in such demand, however, that he has been loaned to other companies to play featured roles in pictures such as "The Big House," "The Divorcee," "The Case of Sergeant Grischa," "She Couldn't Say No," "Woman Trap," "Playing Around," "Second Choice" and "Fast Life." In "The Bat Whispers," showing at the Majestic Theatre, Morris is featured alone. The cast of supporting principals recruited by West is a notable one, and as in "Alibi" this producer who prefers to write and direct his own pictures signed some combinati'on screen and stage personalities and others who, although well known before the f ootlights, are unkown on the screen.
