Through Different Eyes (Fox). When the jury decides that Edmund Lowe was the fellow who killed Warner Baxter, a young girl jumps up in the courtroom and tells what really happened. In spite of this framework, the courtroom atmosphere is pretty real and the story depends enough on character to interest its actors. Best shot: mixed bridge in the Manning's livingroom...

The walls are made out of newsprint, 215 sheets in thickness, waterproofed by varnish. Begun seven years ago, this four-room house was completed last week by Ellis F. Stenman & wife & daughter...
