ON THE SCREEN
GRAND '"MUMMY'S TOMB'
Lon Chancy, now quite famous for his blood-chilling roles in "The Ghost of Frankenstein" and the more recent "Woll Man.'' is. the star of this new shocker. The role he plays is probably more awesome than the previous two. The actor appears in the fearsome guise of an ancient Egyptian mummy, kept alive a thousand years by a magic chemical brew. Other performers who speed the story to its shuddery climax are Dick Foran, John Hubbard. Elyse Knox, George Zueco, Wallace Ford- and Turham Bey. "DOCTORS DON'T TELL" As in real life, there are those whose integrity fails to make the grade, and Edward Norris portrays the doctor who succumbs to the temptation of soft living and sells himself out to a gang of. hoodlums who thereafter make him their vassal. He manages, with consummate skill, to hold the sympathy of his audience in spite of his unsympathetic role.
