Kenneth MacKenna, who plays the role of "Bulldog Drummond" in the film, is the same gifted actor who scored so heavily in "Men Without Women" here recently and he gives an equally fine performance in this new thriller. The lovely Marceline Day makes an excellent and mys- terlous heroine and Henry B. Walthall is note-worthy as the half erased master of Temple Tower. The rest of the cast, including Cyril Chadwick, Peter Gawthorne, Ivan Linow, Frank Lanning and Yorke, Sherwood, are all perfectly fitted to their roles and one of these whose identity shall be a secret here, plays a splendid dual port as the terrifying Masked Strangler.
