It was no ordinary role select ed for Montgomery. The story Is as unusual and original as any yet brought to the screen, with Montgomery playing Silky Kll- mount, liquor racketeer, who be comes an English Earl by inherit ance. Not as heavy a characteri zation as the psychopathic mur derer Montgomery played 1 n “Night Must Fall,” which brought him nomination for the Academy Award, It Is an equally fascinat ing characterization and the Met- ro-Goldwyn“Mayer star plays It to the hilt. The situation In which Silky becomes a member of England’s d^rnified House of Lords Is fun damentally amusing, but there is deeper significance to his trial (before hls peers on a murder charge. Silky, king of the Chicago underworld, discovers that he can’t beat the rap in England. Outstanding perfOTmanees are given iby Montgomery, Edward Arnold, who plays Silky’s lawyer and pal, and Edmund Gwenn as Silky’s English butler. Victor Sa^ vllle, M-G-M British producer of “Goodbye Mr. Chips,” and “The “Citadel,” brought the picture to the screen, his first American film. Richard Thorpe’s direction is dramatically realistic through out. Girl Scout Troop To Meet Monday Brownie troop of Girl Scouts will meet on Monday afternoon, 3:30, at the home of Mrs. R. S. , Gibbs.
