Return of Terror,' one of the
most unique and baffling mystery
dramas ever screened, eomes to
th Capitol theatre today on a
double bill.
The screen play by Eugene So-
low and Peter Miine was suggest
ed by the cleverest of all of the
mystery dramas by the famous
author, Edgar Wallace. The story
concerns a series of crimes, the
first of which is the killing of a
number of patients at a private
sanitarium for which the superin
tendent Is convicted and confined
to an insane asylum.
The picture also carries a dou
ble romance, one the love affair
of the feminine owner of the sani
tarium and the accused superin
tendent, and the other that of a
reporter and a nurse In the insti
tution. In addition there is said
to be considerable comedy, which
comes in as a relief for the ter
rific tension caused by the har
rowing situations.
There is an all star cast which
is headed by Mary Astor, Lyle
Talbot, John Halliday and Frank
McHugh.
