"Charlie Chan's Greatest Case"

The successful serven netress of coming years will be a fluent linguist, in the opinion of Heather Angel who culminated a remarkable series of film successes during the last three. years by going. to Hollywood, under contract to Fox Film.

"Island of Lost Souls",

Foggy weather usually the bane of motion picture companies on location, was welcomed by the company which went to Catalina Island, off the South- ern California coast, to film H. G. Wells' cerle adventure story, "Island with of Lost Souls." Tho pleture, Charles Laughton, Bela Lugoal Richard Arlon, Leila Hyams and Katharine Burke, the "Panther Wo- man" heading Its cast, comes to the Central Theatre to-morrow. Several entire sequences of the picture were required by the script to be set against a foggy background. Synthetic fog could have been produced in the studio, but nature accommodatingly shrouded Catalina Island with fog for several hours each morning, and the mi folk took advantage of the fact. The entire group climbed out of ned at dawn each day, worked while the fog lasted, and then, after It lifted, went ahead with other Bequences. The picture centres around Laughton, who plays the role of n skilled scientist, driven-half-mad by this fanatical desire to transform animals into human beings by surgical methods. On the South Sons Island which is the headquarters for thes ehorts, he has created nearly 100 much beast-men. Arlen, a young American ship-wrecked and marooned on the Island, is shocked by the beast men, horrified when he finds that the "Panther Woman" a beautûous young

with whom he is hall in love, la merely another of Laughton's crea- tures. The picture reaches a dramatic climax when Miss Hyams, his fiancee, arrives at the faland in a boat sho has chartered, and they attempt to escape through the mob of beast-n.an who have gone blood-mad and turn on their creator.
