This popular baritone sang with the Georgia State college quartet which gained fame m travels throughout the East and all over the Southland. While in the East, Mr. Law rendered as a baritone soloist many concerts in Philadel¬ phia. Boston and New York.

Startling suspense is claimed to have been achieved by the unique plot construction and the wude variety of intriguing sequences. .Expert portrayals, "co- are credited to the film’s stars among whom are such well knowns as Edgar Barrier, Thom¬ as Mitchell, C.
