EMPIRE
Two characters in the person of one man are portrayed in ‘ Nazi Agent,’ the principal attraction in the change of programme at the Empire to-morrow. In this picture Conrad Veidt plays a dual role as twin brothers, one a gentle; kindly man, and the other a ruthless leader of a sabotage ring in a great city. So utterly dissimilar are the characters that it is difficult to believe them to be the same man. The story deals "ith a sabotage leader who enmeshes his kindly brother in his plots. There is a quarrel id which one brother ’accidentally shoots the other, and on the saboteur’s death his brother takes on his identity to carry out a masquerade that breaks up the ring. The romance is between Veidt as the masquerading brother and Ann Ayars, who plays the part of a girl involved in a spy plot, and who alone realises the good character behind the masquerade.
