The law cast U headed by Warren William, leading nan ot state and screen, who Is tho past .few months has appeared in such Important vehicles as TJndr Eighteen." and "Beauty and the . Boas and has been - marked tor stardom by the producers. "The Mouthpiece' will serve as an In dex of his future and marks his greatest screen role to date. - The Mouthpiece," from a play based on actual facts, concerns a rising young prosecuting attorney whose teal leads him to secure a yerdict of guilty against an inno cent yonag man. who is executed as a result of William's forceful and convincing prosecution. A few minutes after the execution the actual murderer confesses the crime. ; ; The knowledge that ha has been Instrumental in. the death of an innocent man drives William to resignation from he state attorney's- office and a heedless life of r profligacy which throws him into contact with shady charac ters. JHe becomes their "month piece, a disreputable lawyer who defends criminals and operates through the loopholes of the law. He is eventually reclaimed after a dramatic climax. James Flood and Elliott Nu gent, the directorial team respon sible for! "The Mouthpiece," are said to have given the picture a pace and Intense dramatic quality rarely seen on the screen. Flood concerned himself almost solely with developing the action of the picture via successive - situations, while Nugent applied his experi ence and talent to the dialogue, to "mesh" properly with the ae tlon. As resnlt, dialogue does not Impede action, and vice versa. The large cast directed -by Flood and Nugent, the latter of whom is the son ot J C Nugent, with whom he has written many out standing .stage and screen suc cesses. Includes Sidney Fox and Aline MacMahon. Miss Fox Is best known for her wotk as the little southern girl of -Strictly Dishonorable," She is one of the screen's most diminu tive players.

Miss MacMahon is welt remem bered tor her work In the stage production of ' "Once in a Life time and for her role of Edward O. Robinson's secretary la "Fire Star Final."
