Lionel Barrymore and a very good cast in support makes this Svengoolie entry enjoyable even if his somehow unrecognizable Mrs. Doubtfire disguise is silly. Touching ending though his picture was plastered in the papers. How did his daughter (played by the actress who played "Jane" in the classic Tarzan series during the 1930s) not recognize him?
The special effects of the miniatures was especially good for the times though the science of long distance mind control much less fleshed out. The French setting seems mostly an excuse for the Eiffel Tower scenes. But, overall the story is good with nice pacing and so forth.
Did he imply he would commit suicide when he told her love that where he was going was somewhere no one would find him? His wife committed suicide, after his wrongful imprisonment. And, he readily admitted his path to revenge was cruel and inhumane.

Thank You For Voting was a good book on voting, covering a lot of ground, though the "get out the vote" section was a bit too long for book of that size. I saw the author on C-SPAN and she does seem to be very gung ho on the topic. I plan to vote in person, early voting, which voting activist types like Rick Hasen suggests is a good idea to relieve the additional burdens of mail in voting. Plus, think I screwed up my mail-in ballot last time.
