REGENT THEATRE
“THE SEVENTH VEIL” Saturday 12th to Wednesday 16th. The story of “The Seventh Veil,” the outstanding British dramatic attraction, which comes to the Regent Theatre, has a curious origin. It is the combined work of Sydney and Muriel Box, husband and wife team who have a number of film scripts to their credit, and the resulting film is a Sydney-Box production. During the war Mr Box made a short film dealing with psychiatric treatment of battle casualties. In seeking material for this film amongthe many stories he listened to from mental sufferers, he - found that he had uncovered a rich mine of drama and thrill in the realm of the human mind. Applying much, of what he had found to the story of a girl, with a great gift for music, who is in the grip of a strange mental malady, he quickly outlined the story of “The Seventh Veil,” and together with his wife developed a significant and most interesting piece of screen entertainment.
Carefully casted for production, the picture stars James Mason and Ann Todd, with subsidiary roles capably filled by Hugh McDermott, Herbert Lorn, David Horne, Yvonne Owen, Albert Levien and others.
