The Trail of the Octopus, Episode 9
A masked man points; a woman shrinks away.
What
A 1919 American one-sheet for episode 9, "The Chained Soul", of The Trail of the Octopus, a mystery serial from Hallmark Pictures.
Why
Duke Worne directed the serial, and the print at the Library of Congress is missing this very episode.
Notice
A small caption at left puts Ruth under the power of Wang Foo and Monsieur X., and the title is set in heavy white capitals.
