Los Angeles St. Phone 134 ANAHEIM GAZETTE NATIONAL ALL TALKING MONDAY Night at the FoxCalifornia theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. To Have a 3-Day Run Matinee Wednesday, 2:30 Marking one of the most forward steps yet made in the new art of talking and sound pictures, "Allbi," United Artists all-dialogue underworld thriller, is coming to the Fox California theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. No motion picture in recent years has aroused as much enthusiasm from audiences as "Allbi," for it gives an entirely new conception of sound film technique, offers the most thrilling plot of any underworld story, and presents the greatest array of stage favorites ever assembled in one production. "Allbi" produced and directed by Roland West, who has to his credit such successes as "The Bat," "The Unknown Purple," "The Monster" and "The Dove," is based on the stage play, "Nightstick," which enjoyed long runs in New York, Los Angeles and other cities. In making "Allbi" the first all-talking thriller to come out of the huge United Artists studios in Hollywood, West was particularly well equipped for the job, for he enjoyed years of experience as a stage actor, playwright and producer before he pioneered in the films. In "Allbi" he also had the advantage of using the world's most modern talking picture plant, recently completed on the United Artists lot, and a cast of stage favorites, every one of whom has a voice that registers perfectly. "Allbi," adapted for the screen by C. Gardner Sullivan, is described as a powerful story of crooks, police, gay night life and love. Although heralded as a melodrama, the picture contains some of the biggest laughs of the year and also gives the world a couple of sensational new musical hits, written especially for the production. Among the players in "Allbi" are Chester Morris, former New York stage star, whose performance in his first picture may make him a screen star overnight; Eleanor Griffith, another New York star who has never before appeared on the screen; Pat O'Malley, Mae Busch, Harry Stubbs, Regis Toomey, Purnell B. Pratt, Kernan Cripps, Irma Harrison, James Bradbury, Jr. Al Hill, De Witt Jennings and Elmer Ballard. "A crackerjack thriller. 'Alibi' is so tense, so full of gripping drama it makes one grasp his theatre seat and absolutely shiver with excitement. You're going to go strong for it."—Irene Thirer, Daily News. "It holds you, thrilling. 'Alibi' easily takes its place toward the top in its line. The best the stage or screen has offered in its recent era of crime and punishment."—John S. Cohen, The Sun "'Alibi' is distinctly worth seeing. It's a great show. 'Alibi' definitely sets a standard for entertainment."—Rose Pelswick, Evening Journal. "By far the best of gangster films. Realism and genuine thrills in latest talking crook melodrama."—F. Mordaunt Hall, N. Y. Times. BI ive a OUTH ur Anniversary Showing now.
