“OLD BILL AND SON”
BAIRNSFATHER’S LATEST PLAY. As some querists in the press have been asking whether or not Captain Bairnsfather were alive or dead, it can be said that the famous cartoonist ane author has never been more alive than at present. After rejecting the suggestion that he should make a series of Old Bill pictures in Hollywood, he is now busy at the Denham British Studios supervising the finishing touches to his latest play, “Old Bill and Son.” He expects to complete it this week. Morland Graham, a West End actor, is playing the part of ‘Old Bill,” and it. is interesting to note that Captain Bairnsfather considers him to be the test “Old Bill” of all. John Mills is the son, Mary Clare is Old Bill’s wife, and Allan Jeayes is Bill’s old Colonel. Renee Houston is also in the cast and plays the part of a Troop Concert artist.
