“THE GREENE MURDER CASE” Could a beautiful girl have committed the Greene murders? Florence Eldridge, stage and screen actress of note, is one of the suspects in “The Greene Murder Case,” the S. S. Van Dine story which Paramount has made into a thrilling, all-talking moving picture. She is one of nine major suspects. S. S. Van Dine, author of the story, recently asserted in an article in the “Cosmopolitan” magazine that “the most resourceful and daring of all criminals are women,” and that “for calculating, cold-blooded murder, women more than hold their own with men.” Of the nine suspects in “The Greene Murder Mystery,” five are women and they include, besides Miss Eldridge, lovely Jean Arthur, Gertrude Norman, as the aged cripple, Mrs. Tobias Greene, Augusta Burmester as the strange-acting cook in the Greene household, and Marcia Hariss, the fanatical housemaid. “The Greene Murder Case” is the second of the baffling S. S. Van Dine murder stories to appear on the alltalking screen. “The Canary Murder Case,” recently presented by Paramount, v/as an overwhelming success. “The Greene Murder Case” is still thrilling audiences at the Strand Theatre, where it is being shown for the second week. A number of specially chosen short talkie featurettes are being shown on the same programme.
