THE FILM SOCIETY
The Council of the Film Society, on the reports of its representatives, recommends the picture “THE BLACK WATCH,” Touching as it does the diplomatic mission of an Officer of the Regiment, in the nigh region beyond “The Gate of India,” the film gives scope for some fine Indian sequences, notably the Sunset Prayer of the Faithful and the weirdly vivid crossing of the Khyber Pass. The song synchronisation is very effectively used as a background to military scenes, and there is some beautiful photography. Beyond this, the Council would wish to draw special attention to the Voice Production and Articulation, English. Scotch or Indian, the quality is good. And in the case of the principal actor, THE ENUNCIATION, ACCENT AND TONE STAND OUT AS THE FINEST THING IN TALKIES to date. For the* Council of the Society, W. ANDERSON. President.
