FIRST BRITISH TALKIE HERE
“Black Waters,’* the first British talkie feature to be made, has arrived, and has been passed by the censor. Those who were privileged to witness a private screening of the production recently are most enthusiastic. Adapted from the Broadway stage sucees, “Fog,” this mystery play represents one of the best thrillers yet screened. Not only is the story ingeniously constructed, but it is interpreted by a competent cast, which brings full effect to the proceedings. James Kirkwood gives a really fine characterisation as Kelly, alias Barra bee, and by reason of his stage technique and resonant voice brings moments of real drama to the play. “Black Waters” will be released at a very early date by British Dominions Films.
