Monogram comes forth with a bang-up mystery drama in "The Living Ghost" which opened today at the Strand theater. It is a pie ture that Is filled with action and interest, and well maintained quality of suspense.
 Central characters in the story are James Dunn and Joan Wood bury who handle their fortnight roles with capable assurance. 9th CTS in the cast who do good work arc Lawrence Grant, Paul McVey, Jan Wiley, Gus G!assmire, George Eldridge, J. Arthur Young, Edna Johnson, Normal Willis, Minerva Urecal and Forrest Taylor.
 As the story opens Glassmire, a millionaire, disappears from his home, and is afterward found in his library one night, bereft of his mental faculties. Miss Woodbury, his secretary, becomes the aide of Dunn, an investigator, who is called in to solve the case. Doctors dis cover that half the rich mans brain has been destroyed but that he will live on indefinitely, though he must be watched and cared for constant ly. Secretary and detective con- tinue their investigations, and be- come the center of tragic and mys- terious occurrences which finally Iead to the breaking" of the case.

 On hand to augment the stars are Charlotte Greenwood, the hinge- legged comedienne; Edward Everett Horton, Frank Orth and Jackie Gleason. Romance is rife when Miss Greenwood, admittedly des- perate. draws bead on hilarious Horton.
