This is an exceptional serial for one reason: the excellent performance by respected actor Mr. Victor Jory. Certainly the script and direction offer Mr. Jory little to work with but his talent and dedication to his craft as an actor provide enough energy and enthusiasm to overcome all production obstacles. Jory is amazing with that renown voice, those darting black eyes, and clear enjoyment that shines through his most expressive face as he chuckles at the inept antics of the villain's pitiful henchmen. An imaginative, humorous, and superb interpretation of the character of The Shadow make this a real treat for anyone who appreciates the work of this actor, the entertaining genre, and the pure joy of 1930's cinema.
