Crowds will no doubt flock, to the Queen's Theatre for their share of the thrills and electrifying suspenne Occupying the screen in the latest film shocker, "The Perfect Alibi," This famous play, adapted and pro- duced in England by Basil Dean for Associated Radio Pictures (RKO-Radio Pictures), ran for two seasons on Broadway as a stage success. On the screen it is said to be meeting with ter acclaim. It tells the greater dramatic story of two criminals bent on vengeance against the man who convicted them twenty-five years before. Ingratiating themselves into his home and confidence, and trading on the fact that he fails to recognise them, they murder him and cover their tracks with a perfectly manufactured alibi. Each man's story hinges on the movements and whereabouts of the other at the time of the crime.
Although the audience is always aware of the identitly of the mur- derers,even zeen the crime committed, pitch by the is built to fever Buspense extraordinary manipulation of the
plot which author Milne has provided for arrest of the discovery and criminals. How it is done is the big thing in "The Perfect Alibi," and audiences seem to relish the appeal to the mind which the film offers, But "The Perfect Alib!" has action than mental gymnastics, ac- some excellent players in it, including C. Aubrey Smith, Warwick Ward, Dorothy Boyd and Robert Loraine.
