Daring in its expose at the racket behind hooded organiza- tions that are infesting sections of America and thrilling' in its dramatic revelations, Columbia's "Legion of Terror," Bruce Cabot, Marguerite Churchill and Crawfort Weaver, is showing at the Alhambra Theatre to-day.
The picture. Literally torn from the front pages, is packed with suspense revealing as it does the operations of this social octupus as It spreads out to ensnare an en- tire industrial town. Reaching an exciting climax with a murderous night ride of the legion, the power- ful drama aroused the audience to a. high pitch of emotion.
