RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“THE GORILLA” An all-star cast has been assembled for the screen version of Ralph Spence’s famous mystery-comedy sensation, which is now being shown at the Rialto and Regent, Epsom. Charlie Murray and Fred Kelsey head the cast in the roles of the two famous trick detectives, Mulligan and Garrity. Others in the cast are Claude Gillingwater, Tylly Marshall, Alice Day, Walter Pidgeon, Brooks Benedict, Aggie Hering and Syd. Crossly. In its screen version, “The Gorilla” is said to be more thrilling, wilder and funnier than the stage presentation, for the plot has been widened. Edward the producer, and Alfred Santell, the director, report having but one thing in mind when mak-r ing “The Gorilla,” and that was to present something different and yet combine all the elements of mystery, comedy and thrills. The fast tempo of the picture is expected to keep one gasping and guessing from beginning to end. Those who saw “The Gorilla” as a stage play, are promised a fresh thrill in the screen version, for the ending has been changed so that the suspense is maintained for all, until the final flicker of the last reel.
