Maybe not in our vile, corrupt world of today. The streets where such a "theartre" would exist, would be filled with drug-addicted, hooded zombie thugs, looking for a dark place to crash and maybe find their next victim. The world you remember where such films as these were popular, no longer exists today. We allowed it to vanish by voting "demon-crat" through the decades.

Wonderful Mischa Auer ( the Swami) was the only one of these actors to achieve real film noteriety. Four years after this film he received a supporting actor Oscar nomination for his hilarious role in "My Man Godfrey" with Carol Lombard and William Powell. Mischa had a tough childhood, his family barely escaped the Russian Revolution, settling in New York where Mischa went to work at a young age in the Yiddish theater to help support his family. He had a very long and successful film career mostly in comedic parts.

Oh they did, that's why this is Pre Code, it wasn't until the 50s that Hollywood had to straighten out, what could be seen, and heard from the screen. A moral code! Behind closed doors tho it hadn't changed, People back then lead pretty wild lives, immorality was pretty bad, it' has just gotten so much worse. Now almost everything is acceptable! Sad that our world accepts just about everything that's shoved down our throats by Hollywood ! Some of those actresses had to sleep their way up Hollywood's ladder, to get anywhere. Their bosses expected and demanded it, for them to get anywhere, in the acting world. You want to get somewhere, you sleep with me! And preform any perverted sexual act that they wanted. Period. Sad indeed.

@@victoriataylor5457 , Harvey Weinstein' name comes to mind; on of the really evil moguls of Hollywood. The reality is that God gave us free will, freedom to choose. Sometimes people wisely and then other times not so well. But God did not give a special anointing to censors to override my free will, freedom to choose. I don't need no stinkin' government censors to dictate what I can see or read or hear. The reality is that politics is violence and political government is the bane of humanity; it is not Christian but imposes manmade "laws" and constitution that supplants Gods laws with Satan's filth. That said, I prefer the movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s as the language is cleaner and the perversion and immorality are not nearly as common as seen in the movies since the 1970s, well IMHO of course.

A big house setting for a whodunnit murder mystery horror. The confusion arises when an ancient spiritual mystic meets western aristocrats in costumes typical of 1920s aristocrat fashion. The film is quite light-hearted but also commands attention to keep up with the detective plot.

The 1971 edition of The New York Times Directory of the Film cites 13 films in which he appeared. Also, this ONLY lists films that the NYT reviewed from 1924-1970. Siilent Films before 1924 are also not covered. Films they considered inferior, westerns or many from small independent studios or small-time distributors were never reviewed by the NYT, including this film which isn't listed among his credits. If you don't have access to this reference, place a reply to this comment and I will list them for you. IMDb cites 121 entries from 1930-1939. He was variously billed as Jim, Jimmy, James or James P. He died 24 July 1939 in Veterans Administration Hospital of cirrhosis of the liver. He was honorably discharged exactly one year after being commissioned 1st Lieutenant in the Army Quartermaster Corp. 1918

Another great Flick Pick PF. In a cast of somewhat spoiled and ungrateful people - the old man stood out as a pillar of common sense and decency. And the butler - showing true shame for his past - really turned a new leaf - and was loyal to the end - to his only true friend in the world - who gave him a break. Can a leopard change its spots???? Apparently so - if he sees the light. Thanks PF Hope you're doing well.
