Secrets of Chinatown (1935) / Framed (1931)

First. "Secrets of Chinatown" is the eerie, supernatural-flavored suspenser about a mystical Chinese cult that's launching a brutal crime wave of drugs, violence, and murder. A detective and his friend try to get to the bottom of the crime spree and rescue a woman who's been abducted and hypnotized into serving as the group's high priestess. Nick Stuart, Lucille Browne, and Ray Lawrence star. Next, in the vintage caper picture "Trapped," a rich adventurer (Nick Stuart) comes to the aid of a young woman (Nina Quartero) whose mother (Priscilla Dean) is being blackmailed by mobsters. After preventing the girl's kidnapping, he sets out to capture her heart by infiltrating the criminal gang. With George Regas, Jimmy Aubrey. 102 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
