CHAN AT REGENT.
In n mad relay of thrills, shudders and bafflement, with a hundred thousand wildly cheering spectators, every one a suspect, in the great stadium, Death holds the stop watch, starting Charlie Chan on his greatest ease in u ‘ Charlie Chan at the Olympics, ’> 'screening to-night at the Regent Theatre with Warner Oland in the title role. Striking at canny Chan through his son, again played by Keye Luke, the ruthless gang) beaded by Katherine de Mille and C. Henry Gordon, is successful in stealing from under the very eyes of the government a secret airplane radio-control device, not omitting murder in the process. To save his son, Chan 'lc.vs the fleeing thieves to I Europe, overtaking their ship, which i ls also carrying teams to the Olympic Games, by trans-Atlantic zeppelin. Among the athletes aboard are Pauline Moore and Allan Lane, a romantically inclined, muscular young pair selected by the spies as proper dupes to smuggle the radio device ashore. In the cleverest bit of sleuthing of his long, infallible career, Chan succeeds in rounding up the criminals by substitution for the secret robot of radio direction-indicator, which reveals their hide-out to the police. - ||
