This film was better than many “<ช่วง bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "542" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = "” films for several reasons. The first is Frank Strayer, who took more care in the directing of the “<ช่วง bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "542" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = "” films he was assigned. He was rewarded by being assigned as the most frequent director of the popular Blondie series.

Ethel Wales portrayal of Prudence Daggot, one of the protagonists of the film, also adds to the quality of this production. Miss Daggot, referred to as “Granny”, does not miss a trick. Her observations lead to the resolution of several mysteries. She is also critical to the final solution of the theft and murder at the end of the film.

Another unusual character is Mr. Ling, played by James B. Leong. In early cinema, the white characters in a film did not treat any other ethnic group very well. Asians and black actors generally fared the worst in these characterizations. <ช่วง bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1491" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = ", James B. Leong brings a sense of dignity to Mr. Ling. The other guests generally respect Mr. Ling, a rarity in films in the 1930s.

You also have the dark house itself. A big creepy dark house has been a plot device used in mystery and horror films over the years. ในภาพยนตร์เรื่องนี้, the house is generally lit except when the fuses blow out because of the storm or the thief. The thief needs the darkness to commit his criminal acts.

ในที่สุด, the film is just the right length for the story at 56 นาที. The film moves at a good but understandable pace. It is not like some “<ช่วง bbox_x = "743" bbox_y = "542" bbox_w = "9" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = "” <ช่วง bbox_x = "557" bbox_y = "1134" bbox_w = "29" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = ", which are so choppily edited that major portions of the story are left out or unexplained. It also does not have useless filler to get to a certain film length.

If you give this film a chance, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. You can view it on YouTube and other public domain platforms.
