Paramount's Greatest Sonsational THRILL of THRILLERS
A Screen production that has no equal. The strangest, most shiv'ry character in all theatredom's history! "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the romantic, beloved physician who loses and regains control of himself at will, becoming, in the fearsome shadows of the night, a loathsome monster seeking demoniac pleasures.
If this picture doesn't grip you, stir you, thrill you, then you are blasa indeed.
