Edmund Lowe at Keith’s “In Cbunsel fof the Defense.” DVENTURE in professional 1te, fully as thrilling as any other experiences which move along the boundaries of life and death, is the ma- terlal used in building “Counsel for the Defense.” Edmund Lowe stars in this play, which is presented at R- K-O Keith’s for the week. Pos- sessing the at- tractive quality that holds the eye and atten- tion when he is in the picture, this actor has been fortunate in being cast for numerous roles which give the impres- sion of shrewd- ve nking, Bémund Lewe. ngredients which are brought to a high de- gree of perfection in the filming of this story. ~ It is adventure in professional life because it is drama in_ the courts, rather than drama which makes use of the courts for a strong climax. The chief character serves, at different times, both the State and the defense. After making fame as a prosecutor, he is moved by Temorse because of the innocent men he has raiiroaded to the crim- inal's fate, and becomes equally famous as a criminal lawyer. Finally, his own life is touched by a crime which results in visions of the elec- tric_chair, with a dramatic finish, which not only releases him from the clutches of the law, but clears the youth for whom he has under- taken the hazard, and brings pun- ishment_to those who have fought sgainst him. There is a magnetic quality in that phase of the plot which repre- sents the vigorous prosecutor as be- ing moved by the anguish of the family from which one of the de- fendants has been taken in a suc- cessful prosecution. He provides for the family and sends the boy to school, but tragedy impends when the boy is snared by a woman who already has proved treacherous to the Jawyer. From that time forward the plot moves rapidly. Lowe's work is fully up to his tandard, and he s asslsted by the fine acting of Evelyn Brent and Constance Cummings, as_the two women of contrasting characters who are potent in the fashioning of PHILCO’S NW& 8i6 F ST, NW. WEST 2968 his career. There is also a role for Dorothy Peterson, one of the most finished actresses in the movies, and the cast includes, in_addition, Donald Dilioway, Bradley Page, Nat Pendleton, Dwight Frye, Douglas Hajg, Wallis Clark and . Clarence Muse. In addition to the news reel, the Keith program includes a musical cartoon—an Aesop Fable on the Stone Age, and a travelogue show- ing the unusual conditions to be found on the Faroe Islands.
