LOWE REALISTIC
AS BARRISTER IN
LAWYER PICTURE
j Edmund Lowe, star of Colom
bia's dramatic lawyer picture,
“Attorney for the Defense," was
cross-examining Clarence Muse,
negro character acter, in vigorous
fashion for one of the climactic
scenes of the picture which cornea
to the Dream Theatre on Sunday.
December 24.
, «• * /
Lowe's father was one of the
best known attorneys in San Fran
cisco in the skrly days of the cen
tury and it almost broke the par
ental heart when Eddie, having
received degrees from Santa Clara
University and Leland Stanford,
elected the romantic footlights in
jstead of the dignified profession of
| Blackstone. <*,
As he stood up close before the
fl tshily dressed negro and interro
gated him with all the uncanny
shrewdness of a great criminal
lawyer, Lowe gave one the im-'
pression that he might have gone
to great heights had he followed
in his dad's footsteps. His keen,
well-trained mind. his magnetism,
his handsome appearance, his nat
ural acting ability——all important
factors in the success of a trial
Sawyer—certainly would have made
Lowe a favored advocate before
the mixed juries current nowadays.
Before this polished, urbane gen
tleman of the world, the negro
witness. Muse, who was playing a
.flashy elevator boy. seemed piti
fully igronant as be sought to
parry the shrewd questions Lowe
flung at him.
Yet Muse, himself, paradoxically
enough, id a lawyer, haring receir
ed a degree in 1917 following his
graduation from Dickinson Coll
ege in Carlisle, Pa.
