“EASY PICKINGS”
PRINCESS ON THURSDAY Anna Q. Nilsson has a new sort of screen vehicle in First National’s "Easy Pickings,” a mystery thriller which will be shown at the Princess Theatre on Thursday. The gifted Swedish actress has never been seen to better advantage. From the time she first appears in the picture —in masculine costume—through beautifully-gowned participation in eerie thrill scenes, to the altogether pleasing romance at the end she is delightful. Kenneth Harlan plays opposite her. In addition to the leading man, the supporting cast consists of Philo McCollough, in an unusual “villain” role, Billy Bevan of comedy fame, and Zack Williams, giant negro comedian, as purveyors of a great deal of hilarity: Jerry Miles, Charles Sellon and Gertrude Howard. George Archainbaud, director, and Frank Griffin, who produced the picture, keyed up the tense mj'stery story by William A. Burton and Paul Crugei with inventions of their own for making audiences shiver and gasp. The picture outdoes the most spooky, nervetingling stage plays so popular nowadays.
