"The most mysterious of all mys Leries la the one which tells the least," said Edgar Selwyn, director of the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer thriller, "Mystery of Mr. X", which opens to- morrow nt the Queen's Theatre, "This is not a conundrum but a tenet of all mystery story creation. The most dire feeling of dread is instilled by keeplag the mennee A Becret, Horror, matter what the variety, must be hidden. Its effect is felt, but cind formula in the creation of eerleness. "In the new murder-mys- tery Alm the horror is known only, as "X, whose shadow is seen passing. over the inert bodies of his victims. The snatch of song he whistles is heard. His living quarters are seen. even part of his shoulder. But not until the final exciting sequence does be appear. The underlying psycho- logy," Selwyn explained, "is based on the world-old recognition that fear of an unknown assailant is more ler- rible than fear of tangible object, no matter how imposing. Strong men have been known to break down as 'n result of imagined adversarios. "Four is instinctive. It is strongly allied with superstition and lurks in even the most sophisticated human mind. Thus mystery stories are Always popular,' he said. Robert Montgo- mery heads the cast of "Mystery of Mr. X, as the suave gentleman crook who becomes entangled in the web, of the murderer. Elizabeth Allan has the feminine lend and the cast also features Lewis Stane, Ralph Forbes, Henry Stephenson, Forrester Harvey, Ivan Simpson, Leonard Mudie, Alce B. Francis and Charles Irwin.

"This Side of Heaven" Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has dedicated its most recent picture, "This Side of Heaven," which is showing at the Alhambra Theatre, to the average American family. The picture deals with the inter-woven dramas, high nspirations, youthful romances and tilsappointments of a typical everyday household. Lionel Barrymore, whose most recent successes have been in "Should Ladies Behave", "Her Sweet- heart," and "Dinner at Elght," was chosen by the studio executives as the typical head of the average American family, whose story the picture tells. Fay Bainter, brilliant New York slago atar of "East Is West" and numerous other, pupular plays, was beckoned westward to the Pacific Coast to port- ray Barrymore's wife and, incident- ally, her first motion picture role. Mae Clarke, heretofore known chiefly as an exotic night club girl in former pictures, proves her versatility by her appearance in the role of
