" The League of Frightened Men”
DETECTIVE SOLVES THREE MURDERS (Kosy: Now screening.) A sinister shadow hobbling grotesquely through the lives of twelve cowering men! One by one the killer’s victims fall—till Nero Wolfe goes to town in the exciting story, “The League of Frightened Men! ” Walter Connolly, as Nero, is one of the most engaging and constantly interesting manhunters the screen has ever presented. Connolly, the perfect actor, is Nero to a T. Lionel Stander as Archie Goodwin, Nero’s lieutenant, is a comic delight. And there arc extraordinarily fine performances given by Eduardo Ciannelli, Irene Harvey, Victor Kilian, Nana Bryant, Allen Brook, Walter Kingsford and others. Completely engrossing and a challenge to your detecting wiles right up to the end, is the story of thirteen men and how a mistake made by twelve of them while college students brought deformity for life to one. The one. Paul Chapin, is constantly feared by the others because of the bitterness they know he feels toward them. Suddenly, two of the former class-mates meet violent death.
