‘CHANDU THE MAGICIAN'
MYSTERY THRILLER FOB STRAND Lover, soldier, gentleman, thief—Edmund Lowe has portrayed them all on the screen. But in ‘ Chandii- the Magician,’ the mystery thriller which commences at the Strand Theatre on Friday, he returns to mystifying magio and astounding wonder workings such' as characterised his performance in ‘ The Spider.' In his latest role Lowe is said to be more suave and debonair of manner, more nimble of mind and body, more dexterous with feats of skill and magic, softer spoken in love than ever before. The intensely dramatio plot revolves around the invention of 4 mysterious death ray and its theft by the Eastern arch-criminal Roxer—played by Bela Lugosi, who leaped into fame with his “ horror ” role in 1 Dracula ’—and will certainly set a. new high mark for screen novelty and entertainment. Lowe’s work as the Master of Yogi mysteries, wljose magio abilities are strained to the utmost in rescuing the hapless inventor and hia family from the Roxor’s clutches, i» said to make him the outstanding player of the cast.
