A tremendously exciting adventure story and an unusual piece of screen entertainment are provided by H. G. Wells' "Island of Lost Souls," which, with Charles Laughton, Bella Lugosi, Richard Arlen, Leila Hyams and the "Panther Woman" (Kathleen Burke) heading the caas, opens Sunday at the Victory and continues Monday and Tuesday. The story, as all know who are familiar with the original story, "The Island of Dr. Moreau," deals with a half-mad scientist who h a s discovered a way to convert beasts into men. Driven out of England Eng-land because of his experiments, he has established his laboratory on an island in the South Seas, and there has created a race of monstrosities half man and half beast' and a single sing-le woman, the "Panther Woman." When a young man named Parker is stranded on the island, Dr. Moreau keeps him there as a further experi ment ho wants to see just how Lota, the "Panther Women," will react to a handsome young man. Lota's reactions re-actions are those of a woman, but the sign of the beast can never be (piite obliterated. So it is also with Dr. Moreau's other creatures. Once he is forced to relax his rule of fear in the slightest degree, they turn and destroy their creator. Jungle hate strikes in the heart of a city in Paramount's startling "Murders "Mur-ders in the Zoo," which shows nt the Victory on family night, Wednesday, July 12, and featuring Charlie Uug-gles, Uug-gles, Lionnl Atwill, Kathleen Burke (the Panther Woman), Randolph Scott, John Lodge and Gail Patrick. Tho slithering Green Mamba, voracious vorac-ious crocodiles and a bone-breaking python are the weapons of terror born of the perverted mind of a jealous jea-lous fiend in this actionful picture of hato in a city's menagerie. Thrill-seekers Thrill-seekers will unhesitatingly give this film the "chills and fever", award of the year. Jealousy is the motive of the crimes committed in the zoo. Kvery man that dares look at the beautiful wife of Fric Gorman (Lionel (Lion-el Atwill) meets death. And since Atwill is himself a scientist, a "bring 'em back alive" collector of wild animals, ani-mals, Paramount has devised ingenious ingen-ious methods of killing that pique the imagination. Kathleen Burke, a newcomer to the screen, whose sinuous sin-uous portrayal of the Panther Woman Wo-man in tho fanvms "Island of Lost Souls" won her cinematic fame overnight, over-night, portrays Fvelyn Gorman, the wife. |
