PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

"The Invisible Man Returns."

Always amazing, and at times amusing, the motion picture w.hich opens tomorrow at the' Paramount Theatre is unusual entertainment; It is Universai's "The Invisible Man Returns," and it is entertainment that derives most of its quality from Ine weirdest camera tricKery ever employed. Its effects leave the audience literally breathless at many points during the story, which is ideally tailored as a new vehicle for the unseen screen character. The story was suggested by

"The Invisible Man," written by H. G. Wells. With Vincent Price in the title ! role, "The Invisible Man Returns" is the eerie tale of a man who is condemned to die for the murder of his brother. He is made invisible, thereby escapes the death cell, and is free to use the power of his invisibility to baffle, scare witless, and finally trap the criminals actually responsible foi the murder. Price etches. an . unforgettable cnaracter even though he is invisible throughout the story. Sir Cedfic Hardwicke shifts to a "heavy" role and gives it his customary polish. Nan Grey is attractive and believable as the Invisible Man's fiancee. John Sutton, as a young doctor, Cecil Kellaway as a Scotland Yard inspector, and Alan Napier as a coal miner, are others in the cast. The most brilliant comedy with the largest cast of stage and screen revue personalities ever turned out from British studios is seen in "Okay for Sound," a G.B.D. attraction starring the unsurpassable comic team —the Crazy Gang—which will be the associate film. The Crazy Gang is composed of three of London's most celebrated humour duos —Nervo and Knox, Flanagan and Allen, and Naughton and Gold.. In "Okay for Sound" they run through the most hilarious set of situations in which they are supported by an all-star cast of musical and comic artists.
