I the ' wily I Republic I That I from I of murdering dacoits and an interesting assortment of lethal devices. Eventual world domination is his aim. The first installment shows excellent promise. Prom opening sequence to the fadeout there is no lack of deadly purpose, thrills or vivid action. The characterizations are fitting. It is easy to venture the guess when the drums on the sound track that, roll their tune, the audience will make notes on their theatre-going calendar to come and hear them for the duration of the serial. The cast offers Henry Brandon in the title role; William Royle as Nayland Smith; Gloria Franklin, Olaf Hytten, Luana Walters and George Cleve- all minor players who acquit them- f land, ', selves ?hott ûlfJQCt /^Qvleu^5, Drums of Fu Manchu (15 Part Serial I 1st Chapter 30 Mins. slick boxoffice attraction hailing the Orient makes another appearance. Here he is out to dominate Asia. To gain this end, Dr. Fu Manchu uses all his tricks, weird scientific devices, a pack ably. Men and Dust Garrison Film 16 ',2 Mi7is. At the junction of Kansas, Missoui-i and Oklahoma there is an area which is mined for lead and zinc. The section recently made the headlines when it was revealed a large number of the workers contracted silicosis in the mines and lead poisoning in the mills. Briefly, living conditions of these people are almost unbelievable. In some of the towns, there is no running water and it is delivered in trucks. By no means is this film a pleasant subject. As a documentary, it will realize its greatest value by casting the spotlight on another blot on the domestic scene. As a subject for theatres, exhibitors can guide themselves accordingly from experiences with their patrons if screen material of this type has proven acceptaKe. Photography by Sheldon Dick is often graphic and eloquent. The narration, divided among four voices, would be more effective if it were handled by one individual. The Heckler Columbia <strong>17</strong> '/a Miris. Charley Chase loud mouthedly makes his appearance at a baseball game and tells off the players, umpires and spectators. He gets on their collective nerves with his constant inane gags, movements and actions. At length, he is framed into ruining a game, which he does not. Good, substantial comedy that will go over easily. Edgar Runs Again 20th Century-Fox (Terry-Toons) 7 Mins. A fair-to-middling cartoon about a race horse that once was a champ. The horse meets up with a kindly junk dealer. Pollowing a number of assorted incidents, the horse returns to the track and wins the big race. €HORT
