Here is a picture that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats :(rom the shock of its opening se- | guence, in which the supposed mur- derer drives the car containing his | wife's body over the side of a bridge, to the tense denouement in which he escapes from solitary con- | finement in a prison hospital to prove his innocence Ly use of a startling narco-synthesis treatment | which forces the actual murderer | to reveal the truth. The unusual backgrounds of this story, many of them giving intimate glimpses of what goes on in prison mental wards, its intense realism and the mounting tension of sus- pense as the accused step by step | recovers his memory and retraces ilhe clues which finally reveal him ‘tr‘ be innocent make “High Wall” a icompe]lmg and gripping photoplay. | Holding the center of the spot- |light throughout, fmbert Taylor | gives a ruthlessly effective por- trayal of a man tortured by uncer- tainty of his guilt or innocence. He 15 given splendid aid in the per- formances of Audrey Totter as the woman doctor who interests her- self in his case for more than purely clinical reasons. SUNDAY SCHOOL -OF N. L.
