The Peacock Fan (1929)
They may put dialogue in this. It needs a lot more than dialogue. It's a mystery story wherein the chief detective questions suspects and then nonchalantly burns the evidence before the trial. Oh, it happens in the movies. Tom O'Brien, immortal for his part in "The Big Parade," has been forced into the quickies in a comedy role. The action of this piece takes place almost entirely in one room. Well, one room is enough.
