STRAND

Columbia’s ‘ You May Be Next/ now showing at the Strand, lays claim to being the season’s most exciting drama. The motivating theme of the attraction concerns the devastating effect wrought on the nation’s radio communications by a mysterious radio wave, controlled by a master criminal and used to extort fabulous sums from the national broadcasting systems, successfully evading justice even witli the G-men and army and navy authorities on his trail. Heading the cast is Ann Sothern, in the role of a cafe and radio entertainer. Douglass Dumbrille is featured as the super-racketeer who discovers and puts into practice the novel method of hi-jacking the big broadcasting stations out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, while Lloyd Nolan appears as a young radio engineer, in love with Miss Sothern, who is suspected of ruining his former employer’s broadcasts. The story unrolls a dramatic sequence of thrills, interspersed with comedy by John Arledge and melodies by Miss Sothern. The picture holds its suspense up to the very end, reaching a smashing climax in its closing moments.
