CHANDU THE MAGICIAN'

MYSTERY FILM AT THE KING'S

дом

"Chandu the Magician," showing at the King's Theatre is a melodrama telling of the adventures of a magician in the upper reaches of the River Nile.

The plot of the story concerns a British officer who, after learning the secrets of the Yogi is given the name of Chandu, and sent out to regain a death ray which has been stolen from a scientist by a mogalo- maniac called Roxor, and with which he intends to destroy the world.

*

The picture is attractive in its beautiful settings and tricky, photo- graphy, and is good entertainment to those who love mystery and me-

gic.
