Step into the Shadows: The Magic of 'The Return of Chandu'

The 1930s were a golden age for serial cinema, and 'The Return of Chandu' stands as a testament to the era's charm and mystique. In its fifth chapter, 'The Invisible Circle,' we are drawn deeper into the world of Frank Chandler, known to many as Chandu the Magician, portrayed by the iconic Bela Lugosi.

This chapter marks a pivotal point in the serial, as Chandu confronts the dark forces that threaten his beloved Princess Nadji. The Invisible Circle is not just a title; it represents the unseen bonds of magic and mystery that Chandu navigates with his profound knowledge of the mystical arts. The serial, rich with the allure of ancient Egypt and the enigmatic isle of Lemuria, weaves a tale of adventure, romance, and suspense.

Bela Lugosi, with his commanding presence and deep, resonant voice, brings Chandu to life, making us believe in the power of white magic against the sinister black magic cult of Ubasti. The serial's production may not have had the advanced special effects of modern cinema, but its creativity and storytelling captivate audiences even today.

For those who have not yet discovered 'The Return of Chandu,' it is a journey worth taking. It's a piece of cinematic history that allows us to escape into a world where good battles evil, and magic is as real as the air we breathe. You can find the complete serial, including 'The Invisible Circle,' available for viewing online.

So, if you're in the mood for a classic adventure that will transport you to another time, 'The Return of Chandu' awaits. Let the magic of Chandu and the charm of Bela Lugosi enchant you, as they have enchanted audiences for nearly a century.

08:57Yes, Beatrice, second only to the supreme voice of the Abbasid.
09:13I will notify all followers that I am here.
09:17Bring me clothes such as Chandu has, at once.
09:37Mighty voice of Abbasid, by the flames of Baal, by the black coughs of Hecate,
09:47I conjure thy power.
09:51Princess Najee, the master speaks.
10:02Thou wilt do as I command.
10:05Najee, what's the matter?
10:09Speak to me.
10:13Speak to me.
10:16Chandu did not go away.
10:20He is here.
10:23I must go to him.
10:26He calls.
10:29Thou wilt come to me, Princess Najee.
10:38Father, daddy.
10:42What's the matter, mother?
10:44Mother, do you suppose...
10:46Chandu is here.
10:48I must go to him.
10:52He calls.
10:54Maybe she's right, mother.
10:56I've seen Uncle Frank do some mighty funny things.
10:59She's certainly not going out alone in this place.
11:01We're going with her.
11:02Daddy, you go and get our hat.
11:04Bye-bye.
11:23Oh, Yogi, my teacher far across the sea.
11:29My ears have heard thy call, my son.
11:34Speak.
11:37My teacher, I fear Najee's in danger.
11:41Return to Suva at once, my son.
11:45To the hut of the aged woman, Sisara.
11:49Make haste.
12:02What's your course?
12:04Northeast by north, half-north, sir.
12:06Captain, I must go back to Suva at once.
12:08To Suva?
12:09Is anything wrong, Mr. Chandu?
12:11There's nothing, Deputy.
12:13Something has happened in Suva.
12:15It makes it imperative that I shall return at once.
12:18Very well, I'll go and give the order immediately.
12:20Take a new course.
12:22I'll wait for something.
12:23Aye, sir.
12:38Bob, our driver turned left.
12:42Second block.
12:45Driver, turn your left to the next block.
13:14Chandu, is he here?
13:28I will call Chandu.
13:36You know, Mother, I don't like the looks of this place.
13:38Well, it certainly does look mysterious.
13:43Nadji, do you really feel that Frank is here?
13:49I know he's here.
13:53Chandu wishes to see the Princess Nadji alone.
14:00Well, Nadji, Frank would never send for you like this.
14:02Let's get out of this place.
14:03I said in the morning, wait until I see Chandu.
14:15She doesn't, Nadji, act funny.
14:24You sent for me, Chandu?
14:31Who are you?
14:53Who do you think you are?
15:22Nadji!
15:51Nadji!
16:02Nadji!
