OCTAGON THEATRE
The story of "The Seventh Veil,” the outstanding British dramatic attraction, which commences a third week’s screening at the Octagon Theatre to-morrow, has a curious' origin. It is the combined work of Sydney and Muriel Box, a husband and wife, who have a number of film scripts to their credit. During the war Mr Box made a short film dealing with the psychiatric treatment of battle casualties. In seeking < material for this film, he uncovered a rich mine of drama and thrill in the realm of the human mind Applying much of what he had found to the story of a girl with a great gift for music, who is in the grip of a strange mental malady, he quickly outlined the story of “ The Seventh Veil,” and together with his wife developed a significant and most interesting piece of screen entertainment. The picture stars James Mason and Ann Todd.
