“BULLDOG DRUMMOND” AT MOUNT EDEN
Backed with an impressive cast and a reputation as one of the greatest melodramas of all time in both book and drama form, “Bulldog Drummond” is showing at the Crystal Palace Theatre, as Ronald Colman’s second individual starring picture and his first opportunity to play a genuine comedy role since he entered American pictures.
Samuel Goldwyn, producer of “Bulldog Drummond,” determined last year on securing this famous stage thriller for his male star and finally won out over the earnest competition of tw;o of the largest picture producing organisations in Hollywood. The story of “Bulldog Drummond,” written by “Sapper,” is already familiar to thousands. It puts its hero into a fierce struggle with a gang of criminals whose methods of procedure are based on the fiendish torturing ability of Dr. Lakington, a physician who delights in inflicting pain. The combination of these sinister elements with the love story of Drummond’s romance with Phyllis, whose uncle has fallen into the criminal’s hands, makes a thrilling story -which brings audiences out of their seats with excitement.
“Lucky In Love,” the second feature, is an all-singing and talking Irish love story, starring Morton Downey.
