The Mummy Universal
Strong entertainment for strong nerves. That "Frankenstein" fellow, Boris Karloff, is this time a mummified ancient Egyptian who comes to life spreading horror wherever he goes. Interesting Zita Johann plays the modern girl who he thinks is the re-incarnation of his Egyptian love. Karloff's make-up is the most gruesome yet. And can he hand out the shivers!
Billion Dollar Scandal Paramount
At last a good part for a good actor, Robert Armstrong — and how he plays it! A dumb masseur involved in big-time doings, he becomes a "hero" for a day when he exposes a group of crooked business men, but soon finds himself back on the old job with his old pals, gorgeously played by Jimmy Gleason and Warren Hymer. Obvious? Yes — but fast-moving and often very funny.
No Other Woman RKO-Radio
Irene Dunne brightens up a heavy story with her charm and splendid acting. The plot has her marry Charles Bickford, a mill-hand. With their rise to riches comes trouble in the form of seductive Gwili Andre. But the lovely Irene walks off with Bickford and most of the acting honors. Eric Linden is wasted in a small role.

The Island of Lost Souls
Paramount
If you're a Charles Laughton fan — and who isn't? — then you won't want to miss this horror film; but park the kiddies in the nursery. Of course you'll be interested in Richard Aden and the Panther Woman but it's really Laughton's show. As a slightly mad scientist he tries to transform beasts into humans. Br-r-r! Don't say we didn't warn you!
No Man of Her Own Paramount
Whizz — bang — zip! This is the month's torchiest film. Clark Gable will leave the femmes limp after this one. Gable, who plays a card shark, breezes into a small town, meets Carole Lombard, and marries her on a bet. We won't give the show away, it's glamorous and gay and okay! Clark runs away with the film, but Carole isn't very far behind.
Hot Pepper Fox
Your old friends, Sergeant Quirt and Captain Flagg, are back again with some fresh, very fresh, gags and a few neat tricks, including Lupe Velez. Eddie is still out-witting McLaglen, and of course he's "on the make" for all of Vic's gals — but they're pals, anyhow. This film has more spontaneity than their last effort — and you'll enjoy El Brendel and Lupe's looping.
