Mystery, Crime
A radio-era whodunit from Monogram. Crooner Norman Wilder (Ralph Forbes) is the most popular voice on the air — but the voice isn't his: he has been secretly lip-syncing to a blacklisted singer, the "phantom" of the broadcast. When Wilder is shot dead mid-performance, detectives and rival singers pile into a case where everyone in the station had a motive and nobody is who they claim to be. Phil Rosen, one of Poverty Row's most prolific directors, keeps the mystery brisk. Its copyright was never renewed; it is in the public domain in the United States.

Crime, Drama
A crime drama directed by James Whale, better known for his Universal horror classics. Warren William plays District Attorney Jim Stowell, a prosecutor who treats every homicide case as first-degree murder and keeps miniature skull replicas to tally his death sentences. When he himself is beset by the urge to murder, his worldview is challenged in a case that mirrors his own life. The film is a remake of Whale's own The Kiss Before the Mirror (1933), both based on the Ladislas Fodor play. It entered the public domain in 1966 when its copyright was not renewed.
