Three Stars
 X. at Alhambra

Guilty As He'll" a murder story with comedy twist to 1t, opens Sunday at the Alhambra theater, with Edmund Lowe, Victor MeLag- len and Richard Arlen in the starr ing roles.
 = It is, an adaptation of the suc- cessfu1 stage play of the same title which enjoyed a long run on Broadway last season.
 Lowe and McLaglen, the bat ting pals of "What Price Glory,' "The Cockeyed World" and "Wo- men of All Nations" have the same types of roles in "Guilty as Hell'-but they're not in the army this time. Lowe is cast as a po-. lice reported and McLaglen as a defective. '.
 The picture opens with the murder of a woman. The tudience sees the crime and the man who commits 1t. But Lowe and Me- Laglen, called in on the case, don't. The many bungles they make be- fore finally strengthening matters up produce many comedy situa- tions.
 Arlen is in the role of a young man, intimate with the slain wo- man before her death, who faces death hy hanging, as a mass of .circumstantial evidence piles up against him.
 Adrienne Ames, socialite who turned to the movies has, the lead ing feminine role.
 The co-featlWe is "This Sporting Age" with Jack Walt. and Evelyn Knapp.

 < Chain Gang
State Brings Sensational
 Screen Story to City

Warner Brothers, drama, "I Am Q Fugitive From a Chain Gang. with the sensational young Broad way actor, Paul Muni, in the lead- ing role; begins four day engage ment atsthe State to-day. It is an absolutely true and authentic pie tutrization of a ;wellbred mans sex- sporiences as a.4convict on a chain gang, with all the attendant thrills of two escapes in which the .pris- cner is pursued by, armed posses and blood hounds.
 K Not only is it said to carry more thrilling and sensational episodes than most screen dramas, but 1t presents ia triple romance of strange and glamorous loves. The picture is based on the daring ex- pose by Robert F. Burns which caused so much comment recently, because Of the incredible revela- tions of chain gang prison life.
 Driven to desperation by the tor lures of the whipping post and other ~cruelties, the fugitive, por- trayed by Muni, makes his escape and crosses to another state after almost unbelievable hardships. He made good under 6 new name only to be betrayed by Q, woman. He is returned to the chain gang only to escape again in one of the most exciting man hunts the screen has recorded in years
 :. There is no~more touching figure imaginable, than htis fugitive, yearning for love and home, skulk- ing from place to place, not dar- ing to show his face, a man with out Q country. Paul Muni, the famous "Scarface's of the screen, and noted for his fine interpreta- ton of character on the stage, is said to; give his best performance as this fugitive.
 Glenda Farrell, who made such a hitsin ''Life Begins" plays the role of the woman who 'betrays Burns, while Helen Vinson, is his real love. Preston Foster, Edward J.s McNamara, Sheila Terry, Allen Jenkins and David Landau head a supporting cast which is one of the largest ever seerr on the screen. There are 37 speaking roles. 53 .''bit" parts and more than 2,oo0 extras. is

Garden Presents
 ''The Last Mile"
Horse Feathers Com paniOn Feature Over
 Week-End

The headline attraction at the New Garden theater Sunday and
 Monday is "The Last Mile'. A
 momentous screen drama, mightier than the great stage play that
 rocked the nation. Within their confines of sombre prison walls,
 what do these souls in agony and despair think? What do they say? What do they do? The answer to that question makes the drama, and and teaches an everlasting lesson, in The Last Mile". Based on one of the dramatic sensations of the stage, "The Last Mile" in. picture form, drives home like mighty sledge hammer the. value of the restraint of human passions. It will tell you what they think. It will tell you in powerful terms what they say. And in tense, dra- matic, moving action you will see what they do! Sam Bischoff di- rected this worldwide film with a superlative cast including Howard Phillips, Preston Foster, Geogre F. Stone, Alec B. Francis and many others of equal note.
 Warden Lawes of Sing Sing prison says: "The Last Mile" is more than story of prison and of the condemned To me it is story of those men within barred cells, crushed physically, mental ly and spiritually between unre- lenting forces of man-made laws and man-fixed death. And justly or unjustly found guilty, are they not the victims of mans imperfect conventions, upon which he has erected a social structure of doubt full security? What is society's re- sponsibility for ever-increasing murders? What shall be done with the murderers? "The Last Mile" does not pretend to give an ans- wer. Society must find it's own so- lutfon, but murder on the heels of murder is not that solution.
 If it's really long, loud laugh that this country needs, Waterbur- ians can get their share of it at the New Garden theater where the four Marx brothers, more cocoa nutty than ever, are cavorting about ,in Horse Feathers, which | is companion feature. This time | the setting is dear old Huxley col lege, with all four of the Marx men determined to fight f1ercely for their alma nanny against the gestures of rival Dar- win. Just one long college yell of joy. .as they clown with the CO., eds. :. poster the profs. .caper over the campus. <. and turn a champion football game into a roaring riot! Their Animal Crack F ers", "The Cocoanuts" and Monk ey Business" sent millions into happy mysteries. Horse Feathers" will make you laugh till you're limp.
 Also on the same bill are num- Der of excellent short subjects. The extra attractions are pyroloid given to women on Tuesday. An Circus on Thursday night and Country Store on Saturday night.

 called in by the president of the
 nation on a business conference.
 But he cannot become an ordinary
 human to the sliafp-tongued. worldly-wise blonde beauty he picked from a night club. He losses diamond bracelets in her lap,
 but gives her no attention. So she has an affair with the doctor who comes to treat her feigned, neuro- sis. 4 tsIs its
 The doctor and his wife must have a showdown. So must the maid, the butler and the e-chauffeur. The play goes into the :. kitchen where the butler, already married abroad, goes bigamous to win the maid. and the resentful chauffeur fights it out, upsetting the fine dishes prepared for the occasion. So guests and hosts alike are re- vealed between the invitation and the dinner hour-between the first and last acts
 Of such material is Dinner at Eight" perhaps the most expertly cast. and acted play in New York. It's collaboration of Edna Ferber and George Kaufman--and its ai-i together on "The Royal Family,v the result was deiightfuI. This time, they still turn out a hit which scalpers have brought up. for two months in alvance.
 Or again, you can watch a party gather in the country home of a literary clan. With the gracious ness of good hostess, cigarets are offered One guest looks at the cigaret box and allows as how she has seen it before of course, insists the hostess, there has been a mistake. z
 At that moment, another guest decides to turn on a photograph, but it is out of order. Had music come on, all wouldN have danced and none would have been the wiser. Instead, an argument arises over the cigaret box. The host grows curious. The box Is traced to his brother, presumed to have committed suicide. This, in turn, involves the hostess who had se- cretly loved the dead brother. Then 1t develops that the brother-Mar-s tin by name-did not kill himself but was slain by another guest in 3 struggle for the gun.
 The presumption had been that Martin had killed himself after stealing funds from his own firm. Now is appears that still another guest had taken the funds and shifted the blame after Martins s death. The thief had also been in love with the wife ofsyet one more guest.
 And so 1t goes in a strange cycle, each figure being dragged in as the ramifications increase.
 This is the new play from Lon- don, Dangerous Corners" where t has been large hit But New York Is not likely to take so kindly to it as Dinner at Eight It is Tar too chatty for. the tastes O. most play reviewers

BY GILBERT SWAN NEA Service Writer

New York-Dramatizat of ramifications, which was done to a turn in Grand Hotel, is back on Broadway in liberal doses. !.
 Suppose, for instance, a gushy, selfish and climbing matron of the superficial set decided to have a dinner for some visiting British nobility. fBut did not know that the affluence in which she lived was threatened by a sudden de- cline of the historic steamship con- cern which her husband has in- herited.
 Nevertheless, guests are invited. One is a broken down movie actor, unable to get work in the talkie era. The daughter of the hostess has had an affair with this one- time handsome fellow, unbeknown to the parents. And while din- ner waits for him, he turns on the gas in a swanky hotel, his rent unpaid and his agent forced to tell him that there is little hope fora come back.
 Thus, one by one, the audience meets the guests. It meets the big go-getter from the west, who Is h1yiup iu on hfc h0sfta cnucarn
