John Mills Stars
In Suspense Drama
AT the Hippodrome
The Cast.
By Harry Macarthur

Eric Amber is a writer who man.
ages to enkindle a great deal of
suspense in mystery fable. "Oc-
tober Man" the new picture at the
Hippodrome, is quite up to his stand
ard, an absorbing tale, well-told, if
it isn't exactly a brilliant one. Mr..
Amber, who both wrote and pro-
duced October Man." has seen his
script enlivened by the services of
John Mills, and uncommonly per-
suasive actor, and Roy Baker, a di-
rector who knows many Of the tricks
of suspense drama.
It is no ordinary "whodunit" tale,
in the strictest sense of the word,
that Mr.. Amber spins in the Brit
ish film. The authors prime in
terest is in character rather than
in action. He sets forth the events
surrounding murder, the bounding
of an innocent man and the ulti-
mate capture of the culprit who
really did throttle the pretty girl on
the common one night. More than
the mere solution of any mystery,
however, Mr.. Amber is concerned
with the effect these narrowing
events have on man caught up in
web of suspicion and it makes an
engrossing photoplay.
1t is the authors contention that
his hero, having just spent year
in hospital after having his head
Dashed in, in bus accident and
being in constant danger of re-
lapse from sanity, might have done
this foul deed in a London suburb.
The man, mindful of the possibilities
lying in that old head injury, doesn't
know himself whether or not he Is
a stranger, so it is assumed that
audiences will be as much in the
dark as he. Audiences, of course,
know that Two Cities Films of Lon
don is no more likely to make
films appealing hero murderer
than Is Joe Pasternak of Hollywood,
but Mr.. Amber, Director Baker and
Hero Mills manage to make some
thing faulty dramatic out of most
of October Man
The script writer Is not above
leaving loose ends united and some
of his red herrings do have q
decidedly fishy odor. For purposes
of plot, he is willing to make an
investigating constable more obtuse
than most would find in real life.
But these things don't matter too
much. The British just do have a
way about them when 1t comes to
generating suspense on the screen.
Mr.. Baker is another who knows the
value Of understatement and who
understands that horror Is more
frightening when surrounded by the
commonplace than when surrounded
by the horriflc.
Mr.. Mills performance as young
man harassed both by the thought
that he may be a murderer and by
polite insistence that he is, as you
may have gathered, is a top-notch
one. The other roles are of con-
siderably lesser impact, but they are
well done. Joan Greenwood turns in
. sensitive portrayal Of the girl who
believes in the hero through all his
troubles and there are some ex-
pertly etched character bits by Kay
Walsh, Catherine Lacey, Adrianne
Allen, Edward Chapman and others.

cessful author. has made an artfu]
composition of her first three-act
original drama. Her Father Moyni-
han is a character sketched with
affection and wit, a reactionary who
discovers the world he lives in can
become an intolerable one If he
defends it too stubbornly.
Confronted with the threat OF
permanent custody of his adoles-
cent ward, Jenny, he comes around
ultimately to seeing virtue in the
modest use of cosmetics, and even in
modern dress and hair styling. In
fact, his thinking is totally revolu-
tioriized by the problem of Jenny,
and that of the realistic young man
who gratefully accepted the kiss
Jenny bestowed upon him.
The right actor could make
Father Moynihan popular figure
on Broadway.
Pretty Mrs. Kerr is as hopeful as
the potential producers that such a
star will be found. The latter, Russo
and Ellis, are currently represented
in Gotham by one of it's most pop
ular light-hearted hits. THE Plays
the Thing" In its production, they
were junior partners, in a manner
of speaking, with Gilbert Miller.
