Uncanny journeys into the spirit world; a strange murder mystery in a modern home, with picturesque | India as a setting—these are the details of “The Thirteenth Chair,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's fantas tic filmization of the stage play of the same name. Directed by Tod Browning, known for his direction of “Where East Is East,” “The Unholy Three,” “Road | to Mandalay” and other mystery thrillers, the new film is one of his strangest pictures. Margaret Wycherly In Cast Margaret Wycherly, famous New | York' stage star, plays the role of “Rosalie La Grange,” which she| created on the New York stace, and Bela Lugosi, famous Hungaria for, is seen as the mysterious “In- spector Delzante,” Calcutta detective chief, who goes to the spirit world for the solution of the uncanny murder plot. The cast is elaborate, including Conrad Nagel, Leila Hyams, Holmes Herbert, Mary Forbes, Helene Mil- lard, Charles Quartermaine, John Davidson, Moon Carroll, Cyril Chad- wick, Frank Leigh, Betram Johus, Gretchen Holland, Clarenca Gel- dert and Lal Chand Mehra, fimous Hindu lecturer, playing in his first talking picture. ‘The laster is a member of the faculty of te Uni- versity of California, and alsd> was technical adviser on the strange Hindu settings of the production. | Mysteries and Tricks Mysteries of India are contrasted | with the tricks of Occidental spir-“ itist mediums in the new play,| many of which are exposed in the dramatic sequences. The strang? seance at which the amateur sleuth is killed, and in which spirit rap- pings, table lifting and other un- canny tricks are exposed, is one of the highlights of the story, and another is the final seance in which the dead man becomes an accused and exposes the slayer. Tcnight, with the final showirg of “Anna Christie,” starring Greta Garbo, the added feature attraction is “All Teed Up,” a Hal Roach| comedy, with Charlie Chase in the; leading role. | ————————— REGISTRATION OF VOTERS3 Registration Book for Registra- tion of Voters, General Municipal Election to be held Tuesday, April 7, 1931, will be opened Friday, Feb- ruary 27, 1931, and remain open until Saturday evening, March 28, 1931.
