How "Warner Oland, as Charlie Chan, tracks down the killer through a fascinating maze of clues at the risk of his own life is revealed in the Pox thriller, "Charlie Chan at the Circus," -which comes on Saturday to the Mayfair Theatre. "With the circus as the scene of the crime, Chan finds himself involved with. a mass of clues. The dead owner, not having been on friendly terms with his. performers, leaves all of the troupe open to suspicion, including- even the savage g-orilla who was missing- from his cage at the time of the crime. "When a poisonous cobra finds its way to Chan's room and almost puts an end. to the wily detective's career, he becomes convinced that the murderer is one of the troupe. Chan, however, proves too clever foihis adversaries, and escapes further attempts upon his life. The murderer returns to the scene of the crime to prevent one of the troupe from revealinghis identity and Chan clevei-ly baits him into a trap and bring-s to an end his reign of terror. Rogers portrays a double-fisted, ten-der-hearted country editor who proves that the years after forty are the best and goes in quest of the fountain of youth. He launches a series of situations that smash the funny bone to smithereens. "Life Begins at 40" relates the romance of a young school teacher and a youth "railroaded" to prison. The shrewd editor brings to light facts that clears the boy, and stirs up a hornet's nest of fun in the process. Lavishly produced, "Kid Millions" offers several gorgeous girl and song numbers, and the "Mandy" number, which Eddie introduced in an early Ziegfield Follies, is revived and is staged with terrific effect. "Okay, Toots," "An Earful of Music," ""When My Ship Comes In," and "Your Head on My Shoulder," are other tuneful hits you'll be humming and -whistling for months. "Kid Millions" is a million dollars' -worth of entertainment. See it and treat yourself to the greatest film fun feast in years.
