TRADITION
A Terry Brings it to Elstree PART IN NEW PICTURE Written for THE SUN. Many things British are founded on tradition, hut with the talking screen’s acquisition of the famous British star, Dennis Neilson-Terry, the entertainment medium of the multitudes basks in the glory of tradition for the first time. An Englishman of a century back would couple the name Terry with the “legitimate” stage just as the “West Ender” of today would so do. The present standard-bearer of the Terry’s inherits the stage genius of his bowhiskered ancestors. It is interesting to note, therefore, that for the first time in history a proud Terry packs his tradition in his old kit bag and dumps it on one of the huge sound stages at Elstree. Dennis makes his talking picture debut in British Dominions’ thrilling version of A. E. W. Mason’s yarn, “The House of the Arrow.” He plays the part of Hanaud, the most eminent of criminologists, in this production, which is among the host of really excellent English talking films which Australia and New Zealand will see ia the near future.
