Someone Could Get Killed Out There!

From Colonnade Pictures Corporation in 1941, it's time for "Murder on Lexon Avenue."  This picture was produced and directed by Arthur Dreifuss, with original story by Frank Wilson and screenplay and adaptation by Vincent Valentini and Bryna Ivens.  In this one, dramatic events at a Harlem apartment house center around the new head of the Better Business League (played by Gus Smith), elected to replace his corrupt predecessor (Norman Astwood), who wants revenge, and the new BBL head's young ward (Ernie Ransom), a two-timing Romeo, whose affairs are coming to a crisis.  Hanging around is the murderous henchman (Herman Green) of the ousted BBL chief.  This movie also stars Alberta Perkins, Sidney Easton, Alex Lovejoy, Dene Larry, and Earl Sydnor.
