SIX NEW STORIES.
EDGAR WALLACE'S WORK.. The Radio studios have six new Edgar Wallace stories in their possession. The first, tentatively titled " Tho Beast," is already being filmed. Two more have definitely been accepted for filming, and the others are in the hands of the story department. It is hard to say what influence Edgar Wallace might have had on talkies. None of the film versions have been perhaps completely satisfactory. They have fallen short mainly because it is impossible _to make credible on the screen everything that Edgar Wallace could write convincingly enough in his books. His thrillers are really too complicated and were too largely dependent on his dexterity as a writer to make ideal film plots. But the stories ho wroto specially for the screen, after considerable experience of film-making, may turn out to be quite different from his novels.
