MYSTERIOUS FILM 'The Mystic,' by Tod Brown ing, Tale of Romance and Adventure Tod Browning, the most fam,ous director of film crook plays, has again hit the nail on the head in "The Mystic." a Metro-Gold wyn Mayer production, -.now being shown at the Heilig theatre. Years ago Browning gave to the screen a great crook' drama in "Outside the Law,'- which he wrote and directed. - The picture was a popular hit and Browning has since written and directed the most thrilling plays of that type that have ever appeared on the screen. His recent Metro-Coldwyn-May-er picture. "The Unholy Three." featuring Lon Chaney. has been considered the best underworld picture of recent years, hut it is doubtful if it can be compared to "The Mystic." - Browning is said to have been prompted to write the story of "The Mystic" by recent police raids against fake mediums and clairvoyants of Los Angeles. Some of the most startling bits of busi ness in the story originated from the sensational testimony given before the Los Angeles County grand jury probing the connec tion between fake mediums and organized gangs of swindlers. No matter where Browning re ceived his inspiration for this pic ture he has given to millions of picture-goers a melodrama that is both a warning and entertain ment. The story opens in Hungary, where an American crook discov ers a gypsy mystic and brings her to America where he begins to prey on wealthy people desirous of . communicating with dead friends and relatives. The story is a first-class melodrama replete with thrills and following a rom ance which develops .between the American crook and tne gypsy mystic, who, by the way, is a fake medium. The story is interpreted by a notable all-star cast, with Aileen Pringle and Conway Tearle in the featured roles. The cast also in cludes Mitchell Lewis. Robert Ober, Stanton Heck. Gladys Hu lette, David Torrence and DeWitt Jennings. "The Mystic" was scenarized by Waldemar Young, photographed by- Ira Morgan, and titled by Joseph Farnham. Cedric Gibbons and Hervey Libbert were the art directors.
