Will Fyffe at Crystal Palace

Thrills, mystery, - comedy and romance are deftly blended into grand entertainment in “They Came By Night,” the exciting new mystery hit, starring Will Fyffe, which opens at the Crystal Palace to-day. Things begin happening fast when Fyffe, as a canny Scot, gets mixed up with an amazing crime ring, steals from the crooks when they make a haul, and joins the gang when they plan their biggest job! Fyffe, who recently scored in “To The Victor” and “Rulers of the Sea,” gives his grandest performance to date in this amazing story. He’ll keep the audience gasping between chuckles and he’ll keep you baffled too, wondering whether he's a thief, using his canny Scottish brain to steal from supercrooks or whether he’s a dupe caught in the clutches of the most amazing crime ring any human ever got tangled up with. It would be unfair to spoil the fun by divulging the various developments of the plot; but there is a good surprise at the end. Phyllis Calvert and Anthony Hulme supply the romantic interest -in this lively film, while John Glyn Jones also scores in an unforgettable comedy “drunk” scene. The associate feature is "The Bride Wore Crutches.” a mystery-comedy centring round the activities of a young

American reporter. The players include Lynne Roberts, Edgar Kennedy, and Robert Armstrong.

Robert Stack and Nan Grey, both stalwarts of former Deanna Durbin successes, will help to strengthen the cast of the new Gloria Jean picture, "A Little Bit of Heaven.”
