#WomanEmpowermentWednesday Glenda Farrell as Florence Dempsey in "The Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933)



Florence Dempsey takes no shit or prisoners. Close to being fired, a story practically falls into her lap while investigating the death and posthumous disappearance of Joan Gale. The report is a monster had taken her body away. The police suspect the son of a powerful industrialist, but Dempsey thinks different especially after noticing Joan of Arc in the local wax museum has an extraordinary likeness to the dead model. She can't prove it or the monstrous figure she found in an old house where a bootlegger stores alcohol. Florence ends up "taking [her] share." With the police currently think her crazy although having the wax museum's drug addicted employee who won't talk, Dempsey is able to really get her story and saving her roommate all at the same time.
