COSY THEATRE
MYSTERY THRILLER. Another of Erie Stanley Gardner’s baffling murder mystery thrillers, “The Case of the Velvet Claws,” will be seen at the Cosy Theatre tonight, with Warren William again in the role of Perry Mason, the lawyer-detective made famous by the noted writer. Eight persons are suspected of the killing of a rich and eccentric blackmailer, who secretly publishes a scandal sheet. These include his wife, his nephew, the detective working on the case, and members of the wealthy man’s household. Several motives are brought to light as the possible cause of the crime, including a plot to cover up a love scandal, greed for the man’s riches and vengeance. Claire Dodd, has the role of Warren William’s wise-crack-ing secretary, and his bride whom he deserts on his wedding night to work on the crime case, he being forced into it by the wife of the slain man at the point of a gun. Winifred Shaw has the role of the murdered man’s wife, while others in the cast include Gordon Elliott, Joseph King, Addison Richards, Eddie Acuff, Olin Howland, Kenneth Harlan, Dick Purcell, Clara Blandick, Ruth Robinson, Paula Stone, Stuart Holmes and Carol Hughes.
