GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGI-IT After combing London unsuccessfully for real Turkish musicians to
play as extras m the new British production "Stamboul," which opens at the Grand Theatre to-night, the producer got in touch with New Scotland Yard who were most helpful as they have a register of every alien in London. Finally after a great deal of trouble a band of expert Turkish musicians who understand their national instruments was gathered i together and their rendering of tra- ' ditional airs in instruments with unI pronounceable names will give film ! goers an opportunity of hearing what j Turkish music is really like as apart | from conventional ideas fostered by such popular hits as the "Turkish j Patrol," "Old Stamboul," etc. This ; is just one of the many typical little I touches to be found in "Stamboul" | which prove the extraordinary care j that was taken to ensure it being one j of the finest pictures to leave a Brii tish studio.
