By HOWARD HANCOCK
In step with the new season’s
trend, “Woman Wanted,” which
has been selected for the Monday
Tuesday attraction on next week’s
Imperial program, is a dramatic
action picture. It moves to the
tune of surprising romance and the
menace of racketeering gangsters.
It combines the elements that
made gangster pictures such popu
lar attractions, a quality which the
“G-Men” cycle of films has reviv
ed. It features a number of thrill
ing chases and smash-ups, but also
incorporates an intriguing love
story.
A lawyer carries on an across
the-light-well flirtation, with a
girl. Gangsters wreck a police car.
The girl of the flirtation dashes
into the lawyer’s car. She is a
convicted murderess, framed by
the mob which, before she gets be
yond its clutches, thinks she holds
a secret that is dangerous to their
safety. Believing the girl’s story
of innocence, as romance is born,
the lawyer and girl set out to find
the real killer-. Harried by the
mob, both lives are in continual
danger, with a triangle situation
lent to the romantic angle. The
pair in the end outsmart the mob
sters, one of whom in dying con
fesses that he is the perpetrator.
Maureen O’Sullivan portrays
the woman wanted by both the law
and its enemies, while Joel McCrea
is the hero who befriends her. An
imposing supporting cast for the
two stars is composed, in the
main, by Lewis Stone, Louis Cai
hern, Adrienne Ames, and Edgar
Kennedy.

Warner Oland’s latest screen ap
pearance as that genial and philo
sophical Chinese sleuth, Charlie
Chan, will take place at the Impe
rial next Thursday and Frida/
when Fox Film’s latest vehicle for
the inimitable Oland, “Charlie
Chan in Egypt,” will be the at
traction there.
In this picture, the eighth of
the famed Chan stories, the pro
ducers have effected an ingenious
ly thrilling and baffling mystery,
it is said. “Charlie Chan in Egypt”
is described as the biggest and
most pretentious Chan picture yet
made, and carries the interest
from beginning to end, with Stepin
Fetchit adding much to the comedy
situations.
The story carries Charlie Chan
to the mystery-scented land of the
Pharaohs, in the Valley of the
Kings, amid the splendors and
riches of the last resting places of
the mighty monarchs of thousands
of years ago. Priceless gold and
jewelled treasures have been taken
from among those brought to light

expedition, near Luxor on the Nile,
and Charlie Chan is assigned to
trace the thefts and thieves. A
killer strikes and with the shadowy
hand of death casting its gloom
over the entire family of the ex

courage and skill are tested to
their limit.
For suspense and ingenuity it is
said the newest of the Charlie
Chan mysteries tops all its prede
cessors and Oland once more reg

ed role. He has a distinguished
