THE SILVER SCREEN.

"THE BISHOP MURDER CASE."

The Bishop Murder Casn, play- ing at the Queen's Theatre, is ‘an example of what keen direction and intelligent acting can do with ra spect to putting over a successful mystery story on the screen.

The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer all- talking thriller succeeds where so inany have failed, because it put over its illusions effectively without wrsorting to the usual hokum ag8o- elated with this type of screen fary. Nick Grinde and David Burton, co- directors, were inspired with a num- ber, of original touchez which make this hair-raising vehicle very much worth while, not only from the view- point of entertaining but also as an insight into what effects may be achieved with export photography.
