KING’S THEATRE
Time was when the confirmed film audience was accustomed to think that nothing good came out of the British studios. This state of affairs, which might have had some excuse in the bad old days, certainly does not exist at present. One of the latest films to come from a British studio is “Freedom Radio,” now screening at the King’s Theatre. Directed by Anthony Asquith and with a cast headed by such brilliant stars as Clive Brook and Diana Wynyard, "Freedom Radio” is an excellent film dealing with a theme which has already thrilled hundreds of imaginations, and which has caused in reality as it does here in film, endless trouble and annoyance to the Nazi regime. The film deals with the organization of a secret radio station which is used in the midst of its enemies to broadcast news and anti-Nazi propaganda. Though the menace and brutality) of the Nazi regime is portrayed, it is done less by incidents than by graphic and sincere acting. As each situation follows the other, the pace is quick, tense and at all times credible.
■ No more suitable actors than Clive Brook and Diana Wyuyard could have been found to portray the leading characters, while the subsidiary parts are played in the right key.
