ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS
“THE AMERICAN PRISONER” BRITISH PICTURE AT LONDON Judging by the expressions of approval beard from all sides, the British all-talking picture, “The American Prisoner,” was a big success at the London Theatre last evening. Booked by the management for a special season, the picture lived up to every expectation, and throughout, one was astonished by the perfection of technique wrought by British studios. The acting and dialogue reproduced perfectly, and the scenes of Dartmoor and its turesque to the extreme, and presented a refreshing change. Carl Brisson, in the title role, acquitted himself in a polished manner, and Madeleine Carroll who played opposite, was the quintessence of charm. Bqually important parts were played by Bromley Davenport as the “Squire,” and Cecil Barry as “Peter Norcot,” who played their respective roles in a flawless manner. The picture is notable for its strong drama and love interest, and has a definite appeal to all classes. The full house enjoyed this excellent production —which augurs well for British film activities. An equally enjoyable supporting programme of short talkies was also presented.
