STRAND
“THE BENSON MURDER CASE” I Four detectives, headed by the rej doubtable Philo Vance, will grill five [ suspects in Paramount's “The Benson I Murder Case,” at the Strand Theatre this evening. They solve one of the greatest of the S. S. Van Bine “murder cases” ever brought to the screen, and J William Powell, as Philo Vance, is the man who uncovers the revealing clue, j The mysterious murder of Anthony 1 Benson and its puzzling aftermath is the new thrill for film audiences that Paramount has brought forth on the screen. In novel form it outsold even the popular stories of “The Canary Murder Case” and “The Greene Murder Case.” On the screen it is even more tense and gripping than its two pre- | ceding detection-defying screen hits. Again, as in “The Canary Murder ! Case” and “The Greene Murder Case,” I Powell is assisted by the able Eugene Pallette as Sergeant Heath. I A girl who had a train of admirers, each seeking her hand in marriage, loving none of them but not averse to agreeing t(? an engagement if it pleased them, eventually breaking all engagements because she fell in love with a man who was not at all interested in her, is the story of “Crazy That Way,” Fox Movietone production, which is the second feature.
