WHITE "Promises mighty good box-office results ! ": "Can easily be exploited as something altogether out of the ordinary. Very entertaining and unusual. The spectator is kept guessing as to just what is coming next. Add to this timely shots of humor which flash through the mystery veil like rockets and you have a feature which promises mighty good box-office results." EXHIBITOR'S TRADE REVIEW "Carries strong punch ! " "Promising box-office feature. Mounts to impressive heights. A high-grade production. Packed with aetion. Excellent playing. Well-wrought suspense. Highly-colored incident. Finale which carries an especially strong punch." VARIETY "Suspense!9* "Keeps the spectator mystified until the climax, because of its weird development. Players succeed in generating excitement and considerable humor. Clever 'Business.' Mirthful moments. A good vein of suspense." MOTION PICTURE NEWS "A new angle! A departure.
