BILL CRACKS DOWN (1937) Grant Withers, Beatrice Roberts. A powerful steel magnate dies. In his will, he instructs a burly steel worker to take over his company and make a man out of his spoiled brat son. Neither is too happy about the situation. From 16mm.
S.O.S. COAST GUARD (1937) Bela Lugosi, Ralph Byrd, Richard Alexander. A mad inventor menaces the world with poison gas! The love-hate relationship between Lugosi and Alexander is well done and not something you would normally find in poverty row films. This was undoubtedly Lugosi's best serial. This is the featurized version. 16mm
BEWARE OF LADIES (1936) Donald Cook, Judith Allen, George Meeker, Russell Hopton. A famed lawyer runs against a corrupt political boss for the DA job. A female reporter with domestic problems is sent in to cover the race. Hopton is terrific as a heavy. From 16mm
HOLLYWOOD STADIUM MYSTERY (1938) Neil Hamilton, Evelyn Venable, Jimmy Wallington, Barbara Pepper. A boxer is mysteriously killed in the ring. Hamilton is the DA who tries to figure out who done it. Venable is the snappy reporter who tries to beat him to the punch. Very slick...very entertaining. Truly one of the best Republic films of the late '30s. From 16mm
