Whether or not you toefleve in rclneai* nation, vou will certainly be intrigued and thrilled to your very marrow by Universal's fantastic "The Mummy” at the Foxton Town Hall to-night. It is the most weirdly fascinating film with the most unusual and bizairre theme this reviewer lias ever seen. . “The Mummy reaches back into the mists of. antiquity and uncovers a love which existed oiOu wears ago in the days of the. Egyptian Pharaohs, but its main story is modern in background and theme. Karloff makes his starring dehut in this picture. His mummy is so real, so death-like, that it is almost unbelievable. The great makeup artist proves conclusively that lie is supreme in liis field of characterisation. Zita Johann is a new exotic actress. David Manners, Arthur Byron, Edward Van Sloan and Bramwell Fletcher also carry off dramatic roles with finesse. The following is the list of coming attractions at the Foxton Town Hall:--October IS, “Dove on the Spot ; October 20 and 21, “The Conquerors : October 23 “The Infernal Machine”; October 2a, "The Man Who Played God”; October “The Penguin Pool Mystery.”
