From the archive
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. This little remembered murder mystery stars Neil Hamilton, Doris Hill and Warner Oland. The plot was rehashed in multiple "movie studio murder" mysteries throughout the next decade.
