played by Bela Lugosi, chief villian
of the film. Chandu’s effort to re
gain possession of a powerful Death
Ray stolen by Roxor furnishes the
chief villian of the story.
Further drama is furnished when
Roxor attempts to force the beau
tiful Egyptian Princes Nadji to
lend him the support of her peo
ple. and when he also kidnaps the
family of the man who invented
the Death Ray.
Other familiar characters are
Regent, the inventor; Dorothy, his
wife; Betty Lou and Bobby, played
respectivelly by Henry Walthall,
Virginia Hammond. June Vlaesk
and Nestor Abner. Irene Ware,
beautiful ‘'Vanities" queen and
"Miss America” of 1929. enacts the
role of Princess Nadji in the fem
inine lead. The romance that de
velops between her and Lowe ful
fills the love interest of the pic
ture. which is said to be replete
with suspense, hilarious comedy,
and an awe-inspiring climax that
features the threatened destruc
tion of the world by the Death Ray.
