FROM ELSTREE

ATTRACTIVE BRITISH FILMS COMING STAGE PLAY ADAPTIONS A business tour throughout New Zealand with tho object o’ establishing British pictures still more firmly in the country 's market is being carried oui at present by Mr J. A. Lipman, the .epresentative in Australia and New Zea and lor British International Pictures, of Elstree. “I am able to say that our Elstree studios are now equal to any in the world,” Mr Lipman told The -Sun. •* ‘Atlantic,’ the first big British talkie, was made at Elstree, and there /S no doubt that the pictures to conic will maintain tho same high standard. ‘Eistrce Calling’ is a revue, but follows more on the lines of high-class vaudeville and, in this way, is different from those made in Hollywood. •‘‘Loose Ends,’ ‘Young Woodley,and ‘Cape Forlorn’ (Frank Harvey's play) are talkie versions of well-known and successful stage productions.” Mr Lipman added that another forthcoming release was “Two Worlds.’ the director of which was A. E. Dupont, of “Atlantic” fame. In addition there were three talkies of the thriller type—“ The W Plan,” “The Alan at Six,” and Edgar Wallace’s •‘The Yellow Mask.” It would bo seen, he said, that, the programme set, by British International was one of wide variety and provided a range of subjects that should meet all tastes.
