AT THE DE LUXE
THE LAWYER'S SECRET THURSDAY AND FRIDAY Clive Brook's sauve forcefulness, Richard Arlen's appsaling youth, Fay Wray's winsome loveliness, Jean Arthur's fresh earnestness, and, last, but not least, Charles Rogers' newly discovered ability give to Paramount's "The Lawyer's Secret", showing at the De Luxe Theatre, Opotiki, this Thursday and Friday all the talent needed to translate this grippmg drama into living reality. "The Lawyer's Secret" is an extraordinary drama, really three vital stories with one sweeping motivating force. Brook, a lawyer in love with Fay Wray, unwittingly becomes the confidant of the girl's brother, Rogers. Rogers has assisted against his will at a murder, for which a young sailor, Arlen, is being tried for his life. Brook's lips are sealed because of professional ethics, and because of his love for the girl. Rogers, in fear of his life refuses to confess. Arlen L convicted, in spite of the brave fight made for his life by "his girl," Jean Arthur. The solution of this unsolved situation is tremendously exciting, and surprisingly effective. Every role is acted with convincing finiesse. Every shade of fateful meaning is projected by the accomplished cast. Written by James Hilary Finn; directed by the directorial comhination who made William Powell's thrilling picture "Shadow of the Law"', "The Lawyer's Secret" is an effective, picture of to-day's life and problems. The supporting featufettes are right in line.
