SCREEN MAGIC.
“ MIRACLE FOR SALE.” Playing a magician provided Robert Young with the most fun as the most problems he lias ever faced in a picture role. So declares the hero of “Miracles For Sale,” strange detective mystery played amid a group of magicians and clairvoyants, teeming with illusions and supernatural manifestations. Directed hv Tod Browning, creator of “Dracola” and the Lon Chaney mysteries, with Florence Rice as the heroine, the picture takes the audience backstage,among modern miracle workers to follow the train of an uncanny crime. “It was fun,” says Young, “to learn all the tricks I had to perform as a professional magician. But it was hard to do the tricks at the same time enact the part, speak lines, and keep my mind on the character.”
