This is…That's all of it! Distinguished stage and silent-film actress Clara Kimball Young does a fine job as Chandu’s sister Dorothy Regent, conveying both motherly kindness and dignified determination; she has some good moments in the first half (particularly when she firmly insists on accompanying Nadji on a dangerous trip), but is given virtually nothing to do but stand in the background looking worried in the serial’s second half.Deane Benton plays the part of Bob Regent (Dorothy’s son and Chandu’s nephew) with the gee-whiz chipperness expected of most 1930s screen juveniles, but doesn’t overdo it to an obnoxious extent; his offhanded affability actually provides a good contrast to the more stately and remote performances of Lugosi and Alba–but, though he’s never shoved as far into the background as Young is, he still doesn’t have enough screen time to function as a full-time counterweight to either the hero or the heroine. Good thing Frank Chandler (Bela Lugosi) is around. Bela Lugosi stars as Chandu, the good magician, in this 1934 movie serial series! She is about to be sacrificed by the black magic cult of Ubasti. Listed in order of first episode it's…The weird, trashy and exploitative films tucked away in the damp and decaying corners of Amazon Prime (UK). Strange owe more than a passing debt–was originally created for a serialized afternoon radio series (starring Gayne Whitman) in the early 1930s. Now I'm gonna go through and see if I cna find…The term cult usually refers to a social group defined by its religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or its common… Lucien Prival. Another silent-film notable, Bryant Washburn, is even more underused as the Indian prince Andra (whose yacht transports Chandu and company to the East); he’s aristocratic but pleasantly genial in his few scenes. The Serial is based on the radio program Chandu the Magician. I did miss seeing King Kong come out of the gate. Clara Kimball Young. This creates some slowness but it's nice seeing Lugosi play the good guy even though he really doesn't pull it off too well.This serial is not anywhere near as good as the movie preceding it, Chandu the Magician. NR.
He becomes invisible, escapes and after numerous detours is able to rescue the princess.This review is just going to refer to parts 1 through 4 of Princess Nadji (Maria Alba) of Egypt is in California for a big reception. 18,451 Views . DIRECTOR. It was fun to see Lugosi in an all out hero role, and Maria Alba made an exotically appealing leading lady. Chandu the Magician must use all of his skill in sleight of hand and illusion to save an exotic Egyptian princess who is to be sacrificed on a south sea island. Among the best of these suspense scenes are the drugged-wine sequence in Chapter One, the mental duel between Chandu and the knife-wielding Ubasti priest Vindhyan in Chapter Four, and the invisible Chandu’s Chapter Nine rescue of his nephew Bob from an intimidating deathtrap (as the sands of a magic hourglass signal the imminent approach of Chandu’s return to visibility). The Return of Chandu - Chapter 11 The Return of Chandu - Chapter 12. If you leave a week or two between each episode, these recaps might be welcome rather than tedious.Bela Lugosi as a hero in this 12-part (2 feature) serial! Those gates were overworked as well at Lugosi’s acting as though it was a silent film. Ray Taylor. The situational cliffhanger of Chapter Five–with cultist Vitras transporting himself and Nadji out of Chandu’s reach by the use of a magic fire-circle–is also very memorable. Be the first one to write a review. Open the gates, close the gates, open the gates, close the gates. As Bob’s sister Betty, Phyllis Ludwig is cute and perky, but comes off as a little too carelessly giddy at several points in the serial’s first half (in the second half, she has even less to do than Young).It would have been preferable to have seen a real bravura character actor (like John Davidson or Edwin Maxwell) as one of Josef Swickard is both venerable and energetic as Tyba, a lonely Lemurian priest of white magic who becomes a valuable assistant to Chandu once the hero is stranded on the evil island; Wilfred Lucas, a notable silent-era actor, is given prominent billing as the stalwart ship captain who accompanies Chandu’s party during their adventures on the island, but has very little to do. Loved the “bad guys.” Josef Swickard was the true hero of the serial.
