Bros- ProcUudio-%/ _ There was promise of great things in the way of screen entertainment in the news issued by Warner Bros, that they were going to make a special production of “On Trial,” which opens at McAllen today for a 4-day run. A great many people remember “On Trial” as one of the smashing stage hits of its time, and one which was made so by the daring of its author, young Elmer Rice, in making use of one of the movies’ cherished effects, the “flash-back.” Those who saw “On Trial” will recall how, when the heroine is placed on the stand in the court room, and asked to explain certain things, the scene shifts showing her j as a girl and the temptations which bestrewed her path. Added to the strength of the story is the nov elty of its treatment. New it re mains to be seen how much better use of the “flash-back” the movies have made than did the stage, which laid violent hands on It. “On Trial’’ has a great cast. The heroine is played by Pauline Fred erick. Bert Lytell is another mem ber of the cast, which includes Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Richard Tucker, Jason Robards, Johnny Arthur, Vondell Darr, Franklin Pangborn, Edmund Breese, Edward Martindel and Fred Kelsey.
