“TRIAL OF MARY DUGAN”
TALKIE VERSION COMING The following criticism of the film “The Trial of Mary Dugan" is taken from the New York “Herald”: "The best of the filmed courtroom plays. An effective, striking and gen - erally shrewd mystery melodrama, with a courtroom setting. One of the most gratifying features of the photoplay
is the excellence «*f - Norma Shearer, making ber first appearance in a talking medium, gives a thoroughly poignant and natural performance as the heroine, playing with a surprisingly successful combination o f stage and screen
Norma Shearer acting. Raymond Hackett, who was in the stage version, offers an expert and likeable portrait of the brother, and there are splendid portrayals by H. B. Warner, as the somewhat wolfish District Attorney, Lewis Stone, as a lawyer for the defence. Adrienne D’Ambricourt, as a witness, and Lilyan Tashman. as a comic show girl.” 'The Trial of Mary Dugan' will b* seen at the Regent Theatre ±tu***J*u
