“The Man Who Changed His Mind”

TENSE ACTION IN BORIS KARLOFF VEHICLE (Kosy: Screening Saturday.) Boris Karloff stars in “The Man Who Changed His Mind," with Anna Lee and John Loder. A Gaumontrßritish Dominions Release. Boris Karloff, master of tho siniste*, here has a jiart in which he has an op portunity of being much more huraau than usual. Though his experiments, and some of his less normal moments, are nicely calculated to chill the spine, we have here a big character, deserving of sympathy and pity, a character which on occasion simply exudes human feeling and goodness in spite of the nature of the experiments lie indulges The story is directed with great skill and force by Robert Stevenson, and it is acted by a cast which is brilliant without exception. Karloff naturally .stands out. He is strange, pathetic, and dynamic in turn, each inood being perfectly assumed. Anna Lee, as his assis tant, does some of her finest screen work. She can be dramatic with a quiet realism that is most effective, and in the romantic scenes with John Loder she is ideal. Mr Loder certainly marks himself as one of the best British screen heroes.
