“BLACKMAIL”
BRITISH MADE TALKIE First reports on the premier presentation of “Blackmail” at the Capitol, London, indicate that the eulogistic praise bestowed on this production by the trade and Press critics throughout the country has been confirmed by the equally critical paying public. Continuous queues have been the order of the day for each performance since Sunday, and every record has been beaten since the opening of thl3 house four years ago. The Duke and Duchess of York, recognised as two of tho keenest Royal patrons of the cinema, honoured the Capitol with a visit on Tuesday last, accompanied by several friends. The party thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
