Show WEIRD ADVENTURE OF NEW THRILLER GRIPS AUDIENCES Every audience will love to join the great detective Nayland Smith in his mad, adventurous chase of that wily, oriental character, "The Mysterious Mys-terious Dr. Pu Manrhu," taken from the pages of Sax Rohmer's world-famous world-famous book and made to live on the talking screen at the Victory theatre Wednesday and Thursday. Gripping, awful mystery eerie footsteps in the dead of night an unseen hand spreading terror and destruction a beautiful girl hypnotized hypno-tized to work the will of a cruel man-ling, man-ling, triumphing in the mystic maze of a revengeful career. "The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu" is one of the greatest mystery stories ever written and it is one of the greatest moving pictures ever made. In dialogue and swift action, the strange, crafty villain, who thrilled millions in Sax Rohmer's books, comes com-es to life, spreads out before us on the screen, inspires us with a nameless name-less terror, spurs us on to his capture and leaves us with a thankful feeling of relief when, captured at last ,he clears the way for true love. Warner Oland in the title role is great. The master villain of the screen has been doing oriental roles for years but never have his performances per-formances approached the perfection of this one. Jean Arthur and Neil Hamilton are irresistible as a pair of young lovers. Everybody loves with them. |
