THE DEVIL PLAYS (1931) Jameson Thomas, Florence Britton, Thomas E. Jackson, Dorothy Christy. This quickie was distributed by the king of poverty row murder mysteries, Chesterfield Pictures. In a nutshell, the film deals with a murder mystery that takes place over one long weekend at an expensive mansion, which, of course, is filled with all kinds of high society-types. Like a lot of early poverty row talkies, a little stiff, but not bad overall. From 16mm.
