“EASY PICKINGS” Local film patrons who want ta be thrilled should see the entertainment presented at the Edendale Cinema tonight.
The principal film, First National’s “Easy Pickings,” with Anna Q. Nilsson in the featured role, is a spooky mystery that has more varied and assorted thrills a reel of film than anything it has been our pleasure to review Cor some time.
"Easy Pickings” is a picture with a crook conspiracy plot and a nervetingling mystery treatment. William A. Burton and Paul Cruger wrote it especially for the screen while developing their stage play of the same title. Kenneth Harlan heads the supporting cast, and between Miss Nilsson and himself a really appealing love story is woven. The thrills are contributed partly by the two "villains,” Philo McCollough and Jerry Miley, and by Charles Sellon, in an important character role. Billy Bevan, two-reel comedy star; Zack Williams and Gertrude Howard, coloured comedians, enhance the spectator’s hysterical state by introducing laughs between thrills. The plot is well constructed, and after so many surprises have occurred that no more are expected, the most unexpected comes at the end.
