HIS MAJESTY’S
“THE GHOST TRAIN” One of the greatest “thrillers” of its time, “The Ghost Train,” is still attracting large audiences to His Majesty’s Theatre. It is a well-built play and the mixture of mystery and comedy is admirably compounded. It is a creepy play, and although the audience is kept in a state of uneasiness, it is amused the whole time. It is one of those rare and acceptable entertainments which holds the attention of the spectator to the exclusion of everything else. The mechanical contrivances in “The Ghost Train” are perfectly arranged, and the eerie “off” stage noises cannot readily be forgotten. Betty Ross Clarke plays her part with pleasing artistry. Basil Radford has a difficult role, but he plays it with ease and distinction. Mayne Lynton gave a fine solid performance and the minor parts were all adequately filled.
