...Mummy (Universal). Boris Karloff, like the late Lon Chancy whose niche in the cinema he is trying hard to inherit, keeps his pressagent busy estimating the amount of time he expends in putting on makeup. For The Mummy, Karloff's preparations took eight hours. He dampened his face, covered it with strips of cotton, applied collodion and spirit gum, pinned his ears back, covered his head with clay, painted himself with 22 kinds of greasepaint, then wound himself up like a top in bandages which had been rotted in acid and roasted. It is a pity that these energetic...
Second Game was a well-pitched battle between 23-year-old Lon Warneke of the Cubs, who won more games (22) in his first big league season than any other National League pitcher, and 22-year-old Vernon ("Goofy") Gomez, tall, lean, left-handed Yankee, who comes from Rodeo, Calif.

Certain vicious characters led by a wretched John Madison (Chester Morris) find an old faith-healer (Hobart Bosworth) practicing his innocent seances in a sea-coast village. They form an adroit plan to exploit his doddering abilities. First they procure a knowing minx (Sylvia Sidney) to take care of the faith-healer. Then they have a contortionist named "Froggy" (John Wray) drag himself about on his haunches...
