TUDOR THEATRE
Samuel Goldwyn’s “Raffles,” which has been transferred to the Tudor Theatre, is about a gentleman crook, a suave society man who leads a life of secret crime for the fun and adventure. Known as the Amateur Cracksman, he has been baffling Scotland Yard with his daring and spectacular robberies for months; and then, just as he is about to withdraw from his dangerous career, he furnishes the Yard with its first and only clue. The speedy action that follows carries the c.tory to the beautiful' country estate of Lady-Melrose, where a famous emerald necklace is stolen—a little carelessly—and a chase to London begins. David Niven, as the Amateur Cracksman, gives a notable performance, and Olivia De Havilland’s portrayal of the cracksman’s fiancee proves that she is an actress of brilliant talents.
Set in Paris, while Charlie Chan (Sidnev Toler) is there attending a small reunion of the World War’s Intelligence officers, “Charlie Chan In City In Darkness" is the associate attraction. The reunion is interrupted by an air-raid siren, and the blackout that follows is the signal that plunges Chan into a tense mystery of deadly intrigue.
