Behind That Curtain

A detective hired to look into the man Eve means to marry is murdered, Eve marries the man anyway, and follows him to India, where he turns out to be a liar and a drunk. Charlie Chan is in the source novel and arrives for the last few minutes, played by E. L. Park, the first time Fox used a character it would run for two decades; Boris Karloff has a scene as a Sudanese servant. Warner Baxter and Lois Moran, stiff in the early-sound manner, with Movietone recording throughout. From Earl Derr Biggers, Fox, 1929.
