"DRACULA" now
AT THE OHIO
The Ohio will open Saturday with
"Dracula," an all-talking film YER
sion of the famous novel which has
thrilled three generations of readers
here and abroad. "Dracula," which
is to play an engagement of one
week, also follows closely the stage
play Of the same title.
Its story has to do with human
vampire who has been dead more
than 500 years. Each night, how
ever, he rises from his grave and
roamS the earth in search of new
victims. He sustains himself by OBJ
tanning the blood of living persons.
Active only between sunset and sun
rise, this human vampire hastens to
return to his grave before dawn.
He then rests through the daylight
hours so that he will be able to re-
sumo his "undead" existence the
following night.
BY a clever move, he managed
TO get his coffin moved from Tran
Syivania to an ancient castle in
England. In this more populous
country, he increases his depreda-
tons. He brings about the star
ting climax when he turns his at
tentions to a beautiful young girl.
Her f1ance, her father and noted
scientist unite to end permanently
the career of the vampire.
Comedy short films and a news
reel are also shown at the Ohio on
the same program.
