This is the fourth of the “Dr Christian” series and by far the best. These pictures seem to improve with cacli film. In this, Jean llcrsholt, as “Dr Christian," is allowed full scope for his outstanding ability as a character actor. Under the able direction of Erie C. Kenton, the actionpacked plot holds its terrific pace from the first reel to the whirlwind finish.
