Chandu the Magician still

Chandu the Magician is a 1932 American pre-Code fantasy horror mystery film and starring Edmund Lowe, Irene Ware, Bela Lugosi and Herbert Mundin. Based on the radio play of the same name, written by Harry A. Earnshaw, Vera M. Oldham and R.R. Morgan. The radio series was broadcast from 1932 to 1933, and Fox obtained the rights hoping the film would appeal to a ready-made audience. In 1934 Chandu returned in a twelve part serial, The Return of Chandu, with Bela Lugosi playing the title role.
