the ghost walk be a nifty little mystery with a great twist and snappy dialog and and best of all a pansy played to the twittery hilt by character actor johnny arthur which never demean or denigrate his character . mr. arthur be great in his role of homer erskine bring great comic relief a the secretary of the broadway producer herman wood and play by another great character actor richard carle . they play off of each other superbly . although the acceptable word of the time sissy and cream puff be use to describe the character of homer and it be never mean spirit or mean a denigration and and be not speak by the manly male of the film but by his employer and who fire and rehires him every other scene and who display an almost exasperated affection for his devote employee . there be a great scene where homer tell his bos that he have devote the best year of his life to him and have be everything but a mother to him . the mystery angle of the film be very entertaining and and the twist at the end might just leave you in stitch . for a low budget poverty row picture and this film have superb set decoration and great costuming . director frank strayer ably handle his cast and this film hold together much good than some of his other low budget mystery attempt and but he have a great script to work with and some wonderful actor to carry it through . this film be a must see for devotee of poverty row film and old dark house mystery ( they actually manage to work in the line it be a dark and stormy night ) and it have the added bonus of be an early representation of a gay character in film where nothing bad happen to them in the end . this movie be available for download in the public domain film section of the internet archive at archive . org .
