DE LUXE THEATRE

feulldog Drummond Again

The efforts of a powerful international spy ring to steal the plans of a mysterious radio wave disintegrator, England's greatest military secret, starts a vicious diplomatic intrigue, involving several important European Powers, causes the kidnapping of the head of Scotland Yard and brings "Bulldog Drummond," the famed amateur detective, face to face with the most exciting adventure of his career in "Bulldog Drummond in Africa," which opens on Friday at the De Luxe Theatre. Led by J. Carrol Naish, the international spies kidnap "Colonel Nielson" of Scotland Yard, played by H. B. Warner, when all their efforts to learn the precious secret fail. After murdering Warner's bodyguard, they carry him off to intrigue-ridden Morocco, where they have a stronghold in the desert. Here they plan either to pry the secret loose from him by means of slow torture or to kill him as a last act of revenge. Although forbidden by Scotland Yard to leave England, John Howard, again cast as the famed sleuth, steals his aeroplane right from under the noses of the guards and flies to Morocco to rescue his best friend. Once in North Africa, he has to contend not only with one of Naish's men, who poses as a British diplomatic official, but with the spy chief's private army. The Moroccan setting of "Bulldog Drummond in Africa" marks the first time a "Drummond" picture has had any other than an English background. Featuring Nan Grey, Donald Woods, William Lundigan, Frank Milan, Skeets Gallagher, Jed Prouty, Berton Churchill, and other well-known players, Universal's latest Crime Club mystery production, "Danger Oh the Air," will be the second feature. Sparkling with unexpected comedy situations, which relieve the gripping drama and eerie mystery scenes in the production, "Danger On the Air" is given a most unusual setting, depicting the interior of a great national broadcasting headquarters, where the intricate plot is developed to its amazing finish. The film deals with the mysterious murder of Mr. Kluck, soft drink radio advertising magnate, who meets death m a control room of the uilding by a method which, seemingly, leaves no clue.
