NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
The secret which Universal studios Jenlously guarded within the "im- ponetrable wails of a forbidden" sound slage for months will be revealed on the screen of the King's Theatre next Sunday, when Il. G. Wolly, startli "The Invisiblo Man" opens its long awaited ongagement there. Filmed in the utmost secrecy with "No Visitors” signs attached to locks doors, "The Invisible Man" during, its production created more intriguing conjectures than any photoplay made in Hollywood for years. Until the film's "recent relengo, only; a select group of 20 people, actually knew. the amazing manner in which this spectacular mo- tion picture was mado, and they were under eath not to tell. Universal

As it continues to thrill in wolrd fashion audiences all over the world; guesses accumulate regarding the manner of the Alming and the nature of the actor whose presence supplies the unmatched "kick" of the drama. His name in Claude Rains, and "The Invisible |Man," has made him a 'star virtually overnight, in an almost unbelievable part. He is a veteran of the London and New York stagés, making hist spectacular entry into motion pictur #1 with
this bizzare part. Willist Harrigan, Gloria Stuart, Dudley Digges, Uno O'Connor, Henry Travers and Forrester Harvey comprise the featured cast members. James Whale, who made "Frankenstein", directed this film which has become even moraj of a sensation.
