Coming Soon To The Queen's

"One Is Guilty is scheduled to start an engagement very shortly at the Queen's Theatre.

Ralph Bellamy, in the leading role of Inspector Trent, gives a convincing performance. His fine characterization of the detective will add "Inspector Trent" to the famous Philo Vance, Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes list,

The story concerns & murder which is committed in an empty apartment house called "Rexford Arms, the victim being a cham- plon pugilist Bellamy is assigned the case and from that moment the suspense builds until a smash- ing climax is reached at the end. Despite Bellamy's entrance into the case, the fighter's manager. meets a similar end shot to Ideath. The same clues present themselves yet the murders are a baring mystery. It is not until Bellamy finds the answer in a theatre ticket stub that the crimes unravel,

It is action-packed, thrilling-to the last scene, and the romance that weaves through the plot adds to the story rather than detracta as is the case with most mystery pictures.

Shirley Grey, playing opposite Bellamy, is well cast and gives a good performance, Willard Ro bertson, Rita La Roy, Vincent Sherman and Ralph Remley com prise the strong supporting cast.
