In one respect the picture is unusual. Instead of fer reting out the crime. the detective in this ca·se perpetrates it. After solving many mysteries he is seized with a desire to commit a "perfect crime," one in which no clue is left and the criminal does not betray himself in any way. The crime is committed. The police, on the trail of the criminal, get the wrong man. They try him and convict him, and the great detective, who has retired from hh profession, watches their blunders. Then comes his problem: Shall he confess, or let an innocent man die in his place? The audience is left in suspense for 30me time concerning the outcome of the trick plot. The picture is from a ·.;tory by Israel Zangwill. Clive Bro~k plays the detective, and Irene Rich is the woman in the case. Benny Meroff and hi·.; orche stra will be on the Granada stage next week in a show entitled "Roses and Poses."
