The "Panther Woman" is one of the most important characters in the story of the skilled scientist driven half-mad by his frantic desire to turn animais into men. She is the most perfect, the most successful of his creations..

"Laughton plays the role of the scientist with Arlen as a young American who has been rescued-- from a shipwreck and marooned on the South Seas Island which is the centre of Laughton's efforts. Arlen is horrified at the beast-men the doctor has produced; is shock- ed beyond endurance when be finds the beauteous girl who has. nearly succeeded in winning him from his sweetheart is merely an- other of his creatures.

Aid ultimately reaches him when Miss Hyams his sweetheart, reaches the island in, a boat she has

chartered. But their es- cape is blocked and their lives en- dangered. when the beast men taste blood and go on a rampage. The picture reaches & dramatic climax when they turn on their creator and the other humans on the island..

Stepin Fetchit, Noah Beery and Roger Imhof.

Roger's performance is superb, and Kent Taylor and Evelyn Venable in the romantic leads are splendid as the young lovers. The other members of the supporting James Cruze did, a magnificent cast, all of whom perform remark plece of directing from the screen ably well, are Louise Dresser, I play by Walter Woods"
