PLAY IT E
Warren William is Leading
Man; Based on Actual
t Happenings, Said
"Tli Mouthpiece," Warner
Bros, picture, will open at the
Elslnore! today.
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. It Is his love for Miss
Fox, In the role of Celia Faraday,
which regenerates William and
leads him to again seek the legal
honors he was slated for at the
time of his., unfortunate prosecu
tion ot the innocent young man.
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." She also had an im
portant role in "The Heart of New
Tort."
