Lon Chaney is really good, and he has excellent support from a well-chosen cast, which includes Anita Page, Polly Moran, Carroll Nye and Wheeler Oakman.
To those who like a good detec- tive story, with plenty of thrills, we can commend "While the City Sleeps." It is certainly a change from stereotyped films of the "mushy" type.
