ABOUT THE FILMS:
THE MIND READER, Dir. Roy Del Ruth, 70 Min, Park Circus, USA
Originally released April 1, 1933
This proto-noir rarity — presented in 35mm — follows a trio of itinerant con-men working a “spook racket” around the country. All well and good, until “Chandra the Great” (pre-Code cad Warren William) falls for a pretty and gullible rube (Costance Cummings). Based on a story by the legendary Wilson Mizner, himself something of an expert in scams and swindles. A brisk 70 minutes of pre-Code fun, and one of the first films to “pull back the curtain” on phony “spiritualists.”
FORMAT: 35mm

Originally released June 21, 1951
