s s PAGE STS PLATTSMOUTH SEMI -WEEKLY JOUEHAL THTO5DAY. JUNE 87. 1929. Tonight! Friday and Saturday! PICTURE 15 & 35 P A R M E L E ITMP trial mmmm rtonV wney Golden Voiced Tenors Norma Shearer Tops Fine Cast "The Trial of Mary Dugan" Tri umphs Again as Talking Film At the Parmele. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday! Comedy! fkfhe Return "The Trial of Mary Dugan," Bay ard Venter's all-talking picturization of the stage success of the same name, will be shown at the Parmele theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Bayard Veiller, author of the stage play, went to Hollywood under a special agreement with Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer to direct the screen adap tation. Veiller, whose earlier plays; include "Within the Law" and "The Thirteenth Chair," recently sailed for England and plans to produce his next piece abroad. "The Trial of Mary Dugan" ran for more than a year on Broadway and is now being presented by eigh teen road companies in this country and Europe. The picture has an all star cast headed by Norma Shearer, Lewis Stone, who has the part of Edward West, the defense attorney; II. B. Warner, that of the prosecut ing attorney, and Raymond Hackett, who played the role of Jimmy Dugan on the stage and has the same part in the photoplay. Others In the cast include Olive Tell, Lilyan Tashman, DeWitt Jennings, Mary Doran, Wil frid North, and others. The new picture is M-G-M's sec ond all-dialogue production, follow ing the sensationally successful "Broadway Melody" in that classi fication. Miss Shearer was person ally selected by Mr. Veiller for the title role, despite the fact that she was entirely without stage or "talkie" experience. Her voice is reported to I be one of the best yet encountered 'among screen players, in its record ing quality. In transferring "Mary Dugan" from stage to screen, Mr. Veiller is said to have adhered to the original dramatic treatment. Courtroom dia logue provides the action and setting and the stage production is shortened slightly to conform with film re- quirements.
