"Bulldog Drummond's Peril is showing at the Alhambra Theatre today.

Science's patient quest for a formula for synthetic diamonds and the panic resulting in the world's diamond markets when such a formula is discovered is the exciting background against which the McNelle plot moves.

John Howard, in the role of Bri- 'tain's foremost amateur detective, Louise Campbell, as his sweetheart, and John Barrymore, playing the skeptical Colonel Nielson of Scot- land Yard, give convincing per- formances as the chief characters concerned in this strange and fast-

moving plot.
