TALKING FILM CLASSIC FEATURES CYRIL MAUDE
“Grumpy,” in which Cyril Maude, onfe of the greatest actors of the English stage, is the dominating figure, is being given such an enthusiastic welcome at the St James’ Theatre that there can be no doubt as to the justification for the claim that it will prove the successor to “Disraeli” in the affections of the pic-ture-going public. The play has an intriguing plot which holds the interest of the audience, and, though Cyril Maude, as the irascible old gentleman known as Grumpy, is the central figure throughout, he is supported by a fine cast. "Grumpy” is a Paramount special production, and particular care has been taken to reproduce the English atmosphere upon which much of the success of the story depends. The first part of the programme comprises an excellent assortment of talking featurettes.
