LONDON THEATRE
The most famous detective character in the world, Sherlock Holmes, comes out of retirement and stalks down an international band of super-crim-inals, surrounded by all the modern devices of crookdom. Famous fiction characters now appear on the screen—Dr. Wa**on, Professor Moriarty, Sergeant Gripper, Sparks—all names that spell adventure of the highest intensity, and all appearing in “The Return of Sherlock Holmes,” now at the London Theatre. A new type of detective screen story by the author of the world’s best-loved detective stories, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, still the pre-eminent author of mystery stories of the better class. You’ve read the exploits of Sherlock Holmes. Now see him in action, alive, talking. See Dr. Watson and A. Conan Doyle’s other famous characters. Clive Brook, whose fine voice and great acting have already been seen to advantage in such pictures as “Interference” and “Charming Sinners,” adds a further conquest to his laurels. He is Holmes as you’ve always imagined him. And a cast mainly composed of British players, who put verve and realism into the roles they play. Talkie supports complete the programme.
