Such a novelty seems almost impor- sible, in view of the hundreds of thousands of detective stories that have been written in recent years, yet Producer John Stone, and Director Lewis Seiler, responsible for "Charlie Chan in Paris", current attraction at the Queen's Theatre, state that they have just such a plot in their picture. T'hilip MacDonald, who wrote the. story as the seventh in the "Chan' series of mystery romances, seemingly lus evolved a completely new twist for the adventures of the famous Chisese detective. Warner Olan is again seen in the role of the sagacious Chinese sleuth And i support- ed by a large cast including Mary Brian as the heroine, Thomas Beck playing opposite her, John Miljan as the villain, Dorothy Appleby. Henry Kolker, Murray Kinnell, Koyo Luke and Minor Watson. The screen adap- tation of Philip MacDonald's successor to "Charlie Chan in London" was made by Edward T. Lowe and Stuart Anthony.

Born in San Francisco, Sherman has been on the stage afnen early childhood. His family moved to New York when he was still young enough to go to publle schools there. Rut Instead of seeking further nendemic degrees he chose to follow the footlights instead. After cutting his "eye-teeth" with various stock companies, he made his first appear- ance in New York at the Belasco Theatre in "The Girl of the Golden West." Sherman played the rider of the Pony Express in this famous David Belasco play. Subsequently he appeared with Mrs. Leslie Carter, Nat Goodwin, and
