STRAND
“OFFICER O’BRIEN” William Boyd is rapidly gaining the reputation of being the screen’s most formidable champion of the uniform. In “Officer O’Brien,” a Pathe talking picture directed by Tay Garnett, and in which he is starred, Boyd plays a lieutenant of police, and chalks up his seventh part in brass buttons or olive drab. Boyd started his military screen
record with “Dress Parade” as a cadet of the United States Military Academy, in “Two Arabian Knights” he was a soldier l in “The Leatherneck,” and now in • "Officer O’Brien,” ho is.one of “the finest.” “Officer O’Brien” is an original story by Tom Buckingham. It is tense drama, and is
packed with thrills from start to finish. Others in the cast are Dorothy Sebastian, featured as leading woman, Ernest Torrence. Clyde Cook, Paul Hurst. Russell Gleason, Arthur Housman. Half Ilarolde and Tom Mahoney. In the story underworld characters match with wits and guns the laws they deride there is a love romance of signal force and a dominating theme as convincing as it is powerful, as amazing as it is real. The Strand’s new programme will also include several fine talkie shorts.
