SHOWMANSHIP! Universal Scores Again Here’s a shocker picture vastly different from any you ever have seen.

An amazing trick of the camera more magical even than that used in “THE INVISIBLE MAN.” Two scientists fight to procure the mariphasa flower — the only antidote for the mysterious werewolf s bite. One captures it. The other tracks him to London and steals the flower. There follows a series of mysterious murders. Terror stalks through the city. Scotland Yard is baffled. Our beautiful young heroine is about to fall victim to the horrible werewolf when a bullet kills the monster. As it dies, there is another indescribable transmutation — it turns into a human again — into HER HUSBAND! Here is one of the sock dramatic moments of the screen — something that will send the people out talking excitedly! “WEREWOLF OF LONDON” should be sold as a shocker and as a dramatic sensation because its plot IS really sensational!
