"Weird effects in mystery talker"The Chronicle Telegram
Nov. 13, 1929
Microphones that follow actors through doors, and cameras that that whirl over their heads in fantastic arabesques furnish the uncanny effects in the strangest drama of the year. Tod Browning's talking film production of "THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR." which comes tomorrow to the Capitol Theatre.
With Margaret Wycherly in the role she created in the stage play, and Bela Lugosi, creator of the role of "Dracula," as the uncanny detective, the creepy, gripping drama of the stage was filmed with many effects impossible before the footlights.
The uncanny seance is sensational denoucement and the details of the strange murder plot in Mysterious India, are all produced with strange light effects, sinister shadows and other remarkable detail.
