CHILLS, THRILLS FOR AUDIENGES THIS EVENING Karloff anmgosi at the Coliseum in Poe’s Tale “The Black Cat” Everyone remembers Edgar Allen Poe's masterful tale, “The Black Cat.” It was full of horror and terror and certainly not the kind of story one would like to hear on a dark and stormy night. But Universal has come out with its own version of “The Black Cat,” which opens tonight at the Coli- seum Theatre. It was written by Peter Rurich, who took his inspir- ation from the Poe thriller. And for a coupe-de-grace, there is “Frankenstein” and “Dracula” together for the first time, in other words, Karloff and Lugosi. ‘There have been horror pic- tures, thrillers, chillers and mys- tery pictures. But this one com- bines all the best elements of all of these. Together Karloff and Lu- gosi combine their eerie talents and conspire to produce one of the strangest, weirdest and terrorful pictures ever presented on the screen. It’s not the usual, cut and dried mystery horror picture. It is a veri- table avalanche of human emo- tions run wild—a demoniacal rhap- sody that is logical at all times, embracing characters you can and probably do meet in every day life somewhere in the world. The story revolves around an in- nocent boy and girl, just married, who fall into an unsuspected trap laid by these two maciavillian men. whose thirst for revenge upon each other leads them to make prey of a beautiful young girl. How it all ends and which is the victor, supplies one of the strangest and all absorbing climax- es ever put into one picture. Included in the program is “Mo- rocco Nights,” in technicolor; “The Pest” and a Universal News. o gy KENAI EXAMINED A. J. LaGasa, diver, was sent down for a cursory examination of the Kenai’s hull, when that vessel was berthed at Pacific Coast Dock this morning. LaGasa was to have made the examination last week, but was called to Wrangell. GRUESOME FILM OF MYSTERY IS UPTOWNFEATURE “Terror Ab;a—d" Sets New,| High for Deaths in Murder Play A new high record for the num- ber of deaths occurring In, ‘one film is set in “Terror Aboa.m " pic- ture which' opens today .adijthe Uptown Theatre. Morp | s’ \*D dozen persons die, in'idiverse and varied marners, during the action. John Halliday, Charlie Ruggles, Neil Hamilton, Shirley Grey, Ver- ree Teasdale and Jack LaRue play the leading roles in the picture, Action takes place in the Pacific Ocean. A freighter, steaming slow- | 1y eastward, sights a luxurious pri- vate yacht sailing an erratic cour: motors wide open and apparently deserted. The freighter sends 2| boarding party to the ship and the mate climbs aboard. He never returns; when the rest of the party reach the deck, they find him dead in his own blood. They also find| other corpses strewed throughout the vessel—a woman frozen to death, though the climate is trop- | ical; a man hanging in a closet. Then the camera flashes back several days to show the audience | what happened aboard the yaoht. All of this leads up to a .most | exciting and unusual climax. i B g oI, GEORGE WHITE IS ADDED TO FHA OFFICE FORCE The appointment of George White as visomatic operator for FHA was announced this morning by J.
