Henry Edwards in “The Cali of the Sea”
Two of tho most popular British movie stars, Miss Chrissic White and Mr Henry Edwards, who have been absent from the screen for some time, make their talkie debut in B.D.F.’s naval romance, “Gall of tho Sea,” screening at the Kosy on Saturday.
Miss White (Mrs Edwards in private life), makes a charming heroine and her rich, cultured voice records perfectly. Edwards, whose film parts were always notable for lightheartedness, is now able to crack many little quips, which greatly add to his attractions as a film hero.
In “Tho Call of the Sea,” he plays the part, of a dare-devil young naval officer who foils the plans of a scheming half-casto deputy-governor in a South American port. Al. the same time he falls in love with the beautiful English wife of the Governor and marries her after the villain is killed. Mr Bernard Ncdell, as the deputy-governor, adds another excellent study to his gallery of successes. The film was directed at the Twickenham studios by Air Leslie Hiscott, tho young Englishman who so successfully made “The House of the Arrow” and “At the Villa Rose.” “The Call of the Sea” is light melodrama and is full of popular appeal.
