LOUIS GOLDING

whose last war experiences left him
with a wanderlust which he promptly
followed half way over the world.

Price 8/–

LOUIS GOLDING
AUTHOR AND TRAVELLER

Louis Golding as a name needs no introduction. But there
are certain personal details of his career that are of interest,
if only that they give a clue to the manner in which this brilliant
student of human nature has so ably and so realistically con-
veyed on to paper and so into books, all the foibles of men
and women which are so essentially the core and fascination of
his work.

Born in Manchester on the 19th November, 1895, Louis Golding came from a family of writers, but of a type far removed from his own famous style. His father and forefathers were scholars whose work never saw the light of day except to the elect few—for they were mystics and their work was concerned only with the interpretation of the Scriptures, a secret science traditionally preserved.

Educated at the elementary school vividly described in his
first novel, "FORWARD FROM BABYLON"—published in

1919 and declared then to be the best first novel published for many years—Louis began his literary career at the age of seven with a work graphically entitled “THE ADVENTURES OF THREE ON BLOODY ISLAND.”

At the age of eleven he won a scholarship to the Manchester Grammar School. From that time he became self-supporting, first by scholarships and then by writing and occasionally lecturing College, Oxford.

Louis Golding's first year at Oxford was also the first year of the last World War, which inter-
rupted his career as a scholar but started his career as a traveller. The War took him as far afield
as Salonika and Mesopotamia, planting in him the wanderlust.

At the conclusion of the war he took himself off to a lonely Scottish moorland and there wrote
his first novel, "FORWARD FROM BABYLON." With this in his knapsack he returned to Oxford,
got his novel published in London and himself established as a most promising writer.

His first definite job, which he held for a fortnight, was as leading literary reviewer for *The*
ranean countries, Morocco, Egypt, Palestine and Asia Minor, following the footsteps of Abraham
from Ur of the Chaldees to the banks of the Jordan.

He has blazed his own trails, too. He is probably the only literary man from England who has turned a barrel organ for a living in Corinth, been offered by a Moroccan sheik the pick of his second- who volunteered to do any murder for him that he wished. But the further afield he travelled, the more "MAGNOLIA STREET," "FORWARD FROM BABYLON," "DAY OF ATONEMENT," "GIVE UP YOUR LOVERS," "FIVE SILVER DAUGHTERS," and then "MR. EMMANUEL," chosen by Howard Spring as the Book of the Month and in America the choice of the Literary Guild.

BIOGRAPHIES

HAROLD FRENCH

. . . . Director

No other film director we know of had a
sterner test or a bigger chance to display his
versatility of style than Harold French, brilliant

patience and still more patience is his maxim,
and it has never failed. Himself an actor of
repute, having been for many years an out-

standing successful stage artiste in
musical comedy, revue and vaude-
ville, he has remembered his own
experiences and now, in dealing
with actors himself, uses his own
experiences and understanding to
get the effect he wants.

Born in London in 1900, Harold French knew as a small boy that he wanted to be an actor. Achieving this he turned to directing, both on the stage and screen. As a director of stage shows he is remembered for "YOUTH AT THE HELM," "DESIGN FOR LIVING" and "NO TIME FOR COMEDY." Among the films he has directed are: "CAVALIER OF THE STREETS," "DEAD MEN ARE DANGEROUS," "JEANNIE," "UNPUBLISHED STORY" and "THE DAY WILL DAWN."

He has a charming fifteen-year-old
daughter, recently returned from America where
she was evacuated, staying with Ian Hunter and
his wife. Harold French lives at Bourne End,
Bucks, and his recreations are music and reading.

Two of the brilliantly directed highlights of "Mr. Emmanuel." Useful for Press Stories.

director of "Mr. Emmanuel." His "English
Without Tears" gave him full vent as a comedy
director and then he switched to the interpreta-
tion of Louis Golding's famous Magnolia Street
characters in "Mr. Emmanuel."

We leave you to judge as to his
success but his fellow workers ac-
cord him the greatest praise for his
masterly transposition from the
gay tempo of farce to the more
majestic tread of "Mr. Emmanuel."

Known as the "actors' director,"
Harold French has his own method
of treating his artistes. Endless

Emmanuel and Bruno. Useful for

STAR BIOGRAPHIES

FELIX AYLMER

## Played School Theatricals with
Ivor Novello

FELIX AYLMER

M.E. 6 Price 8/-

Felix Aylmer, who at 54 has his first really important starring role on the screen in the TWO CITIES film of "MR. EMMANUEL," in which he plays the title role, spent much of his spare time while at school dabbling in private theatricals with his schoolmate, Ivor Novello.

He took an honours degree in natural science at Exeter College, Oxford, after being at Magdalen. His first actual appearance on the stage was during his last Easter term, when he appeared in Seymour Hicks' "COOKS MAN."

The influence that Granville Barker and George Bernard Shaw were bringing to the stage at that time decided for Felix Aylmer his career, and he spoke the first lines to be uttered across the stage of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in "TWELFTH NIGHT."

Felix has played in over three hundred stage productions, among them being "ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON," "A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE," "THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL," "MADAME SAND," "ABRAHAM LINCOLN," "THE TERROR," "THE NELSON TOUCH," "HEROES DON'T CARE," "YES AND NO," "JEW SUSS." He toured in "THE WARE CASE," with the Old Vic. in "ST. JOAN"; "THE POWER AND THE GLORY" and "THE FLASHING STREAM."

Of his films, the most notable are "THE IMPROPER DUCHESS," "TUDOR ROSE," "SEVEN SINNERS," "ACTION FOR SLANDER," "VICTORIA THE GREAT," "SOUTH RIDING," "THE RAT," "KATE PLUS TEN," "SIXTY GLORIOUS YEARS," "THE CITADEL," "OFFICIAL SECRET," "YOUNG MAN'S FANCY."

Curiously enough Felix Aylmer's first film, "THE TEMPORARY WIDOW," was made in Germany by UFA. In this he played opposite Laurence Olivier with whom he appeared recently in the Anatole de Grunwald-Two Cities film, "THE DEMI PARADISE," giving such a brilliant performance that he was immediately offered the title role of "MR. EMMANUEL," a part Felix Aylmer has long wished to portray.

Married to Cecily Burns, they have a son and a daughter. Felix Aylmer's recreations are music and reading.

WALTER RILLA

## A 'WANTED' MAN BY
GESTAPO

WALTER RILLA

M.E. 7 Price 8/-

Walter Rilla, born in August, 1898, in the Saar, Germany, had fourteen years of fame on the European stage and screen until in 1936 the Gestapo focused its spotlight and all their one-sided interest on him. He escaped to England only just in time. To-day, he has a Nazi price on his head.

Rilla — a clever boy violinist and now a brilliant player—was schooled at the Universities of Koenigsberg,

Bonn, Breslau and Berlin. He gained his degree in philosophy and became Art, Dramatic and Literary editor on a Breslau paper. After the Great War he founded his own Left fortnightly magazine, but with the counter revolusion in 1920 he had to close down and go into hiding.

Joining Professor Eugene Roberts, the famous Berlin stage producer, he began a stage career as a producer and made an acting debut in 1921 at Die Tribune Theatre in Berlin, in "Madame X." His first film was "ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN," in which he played the Angel of Death. Joining Eric Pommer he began a long career of films with a con- film "THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL," with the late Leslie Woodward. Returning to Berlin to play on the pro-Jewish sentiments (although Rilla himself is not a Jew) and he was closely watched. Having former experience of the Gestapo, he escaped early one dawn and again came to England, this time by 'plane, and has remained ever since.

When war broke out again in 1939 he joined the B.B.C. and broadcast to Germany. Later, he was appointed a Feature and Drama producer there with the main object of trying to convince us what we were really fighting against.

His "BLACK GALLERY" radio portraits of Nazi leaders and his series "IT MIGHT HAPPEN HERE" are memorable programmes. He wrote and produced the series "THEY SHALL RISE AGAIN," tributes to the Nazi usurped cities of Europe. He is at present working on another series for radio programmes entitled "SILENT BATTLE."

His last two pictures are "THE ADVENTURES OF TARTU" and "CANDLELIGHT IN ALGERIA." In both of these he has portrayed the Nazi—types he knows so well. Again, in the TWO CITIES film, "MR. EMMANUEL," he appears as a Nazi—and this time he hopes it will be his last Nazi portrayal. Walter Rilla has had enough of Nazis, both on the screen and in real life.

He lives in London with his wife and son. His hobby is to play chess. He likes outdoor sports—collects books on history, astronomy and philosophy.

GRETA GYNT

## Proves That Glamour Is Not
Entirely Hollywood Copyright

GRETA GYNT

M.E. 8

Price 10/-

Born in Norway, Greta Gynt came with her parents to this country at the age of three when her father, a well-known engineer, took a big post in the North of England. They lived at Altrincham. She always had a talent for dancing, and before returning to Norway was a pupil at the Manchester School of Dancing. Back in her own country, Greta Gynt made a name for herself as a dancer and in 1936 in England was offered the leading dancing part in "A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" at the Open Air Theatre, Regents Park, London. Her acting performance as well as her dancing made a big impression on producers here and several stage successes followed. She had a considerable success in an emotional role in "THE PAINTED SMILE": she played in "LYSISTRA" at Regents Park with Gladys Cooper; and in "THE LAST TRAIN OUT" with Flora Robson.

In films Greta Gynt played in "THE ARSENAL STADIUM MYSTERY," "CROOK'S TOUR" (in which she also created the original role on the radio), and "THE COMMON TOUCH." In "TOMORROW WE LIVE" she had her first really strong emotional film part as a French girl, the anonymous leader of a band of patriots.

Now in the TWO CITIES film, "MR. EMMANUEL," Greta Gynt has really come into her own in the part of Elsie Silver, who, as a cabaret star and the toast of Berlin, is able to give valuable aid to Mr. Emmanuel (Felix Aylmer) on his dangerous quest through Nazi Germany. The film was produced by William Sistrom, directed by Harold French with Herbert Smith Associate Producer on this film adaptation of Louis Golding's famous book.

Greta Gynt's part in "MR. EMMANUEL" gives her great acting opportunities and, in addition, the chance to prove that glamour is not entirely Hollywood copyright. Her clothes have been specially designed for her in this film, together with hair styles and special make-up. With her lovely dark chestnut hair, and perfect slender figure, she looks enchanting.

Do not neglect the *Glamour and Fashion angles of Exploitation offered by Miss Gynt's exceptional charm and personality.* You will find suggested ideas further on.

URSULA JEANS

M.E. 9

Price 8/-

Ursula Jeans as Frau Heinkes, gives one of the finest performances of her career in the picture. In the scenes played between her and Felix Aylmer as Mr. Emmanuel, her great command of gesture and facial expression gives these great dramatic moments a deeper intensity and power, that cannot fail to hold and impress the audience.

Once more the great actress demonstrates the art of conveying a world of meaning in an almost inconspicuous gesture.

PETER MULLINS

Merely a boy, yet as Bruno in the story of "Mr. Emmanuel," he presents a characterization that can well be the admiration and envy of many an older player. His personal appeal is such that more will certainly be seen of him in the future, and, particularly in this film, every woman will take him to her heart. Such praise will not turn Peter's head, for in private life he is a studious, serious-minded and very keen on his adopted profession.

## Promote "WHITE LIE" CONTROVERSY

### 'Mr. Emmanuel' Presents a Problem
For Every Man and Woman

Without spoiling your patrons' enjoyment of "MR. EMMANUEL" you can present them with a knotty problem which will cause endless discussion in family circles.

### The Problem

In the film, when "Mr. Emmanuel" returns from his adventureful journey to find Bruno's mother, he has to decide what he will say to the boy... tell the truth and break his heart... or tell him a "white lie" and give him a chance of future happiness. He tells a "white lie."

SHOULD HE HAVE DONE SO? is the question we suggest you ask... a provocative subject and one on which women especially will have plenty to say.

### Promotion of
Idea

Promote, through the columns of your local paper, a controversy by inviting readers to give their opinion, together with reasons, or their suggestion for an alternative. COMMENCE with editorial co-operation by the

Felix Aylmer and Peter Mullins in a dramatic moment from the Two Cities Film, "Mr. Emmanuel."

publication, in "Letters to the Editor" column, a letter from you (as per suggestion given here) and get the Editor to announce that he is going to invite readers to write giving their solution and that full details will be published to-day (or week).

### TWO METHODS OF PROCEDURE

There are one or two alternative methods of promoting this scheme suggested here and it would be as well to consider in which way it will bring your theatre the best results.

Firstly, with a daily paper, the scheme could be extended over the week previous and week of showing. The first week would start off with the appearance of your letter and a daily paragraph thereafter giving the problem together with the Editor's invitation to write an answer *before* seeing the picture. Once or twice during this

week, get a letter from some prominent local personality setting out his opinion to sustain interest. Then on the Saturday prior to play date, several opinions from readers can be reproduced and in the "copy" urge people to see the film and let you know if they change their ideas after doing

so. You will no doubt, get one or two replies to this and they should be featured in the paper during the week of showing; still, of course, running a daily paragraph which would then invite people to *see* the film *before* giving an opinion.

* * * * *

Where the daily paper will only consent to a week's feature of the scheme, then you run it the week before showing as suggested and finish on the Saturday before showing with replies from readers and the question "Will you alter your mind after seeing the film?"

* * * * *

Where you only have a weekly paper you could help in obtaining replies by running a ballot box in your theatre lobby inviting patrons to drop a short reply on a postcard. The best of these could then be used for the following week's issue of the paper (on the Friday before play date).

* * * * *

Prizes, if you wish to offer them, could be, say, 2/6 for each letter reproduced and run about eight to ten letters during the period of publication.

**YOU CAN ADD INTEREST** by also inviting readers to include in their letters any instances they can quote of a "white lie" that did good.

**DO NOT DESTROY INTEREST** by giving away Bruno's reception in the film of the "white lie" (see suggested letter to Editor from Manager).

### Suggested Letter to be sent by
You to the Editor :—

Dear Sir,

It has been recently said in the Press that the good Musical film is favourite with the public these days.

I counter attack with the assertion that a good drama into which the audience can mould themselves into the characters has as great an appeal . . . especially if that drama presents a controversial problem such as is presented in the film of Louis Golding's "MR. EMMANUEL."

In the film Mr. Emmanuel goes through many adventures on the Continent searching for the mother of a refugee boy. He finds her but leaves her where she is, returning to the boy wondering whether to tell him the truth that she has married again and that he is not wanted or, to say she is dead and spare the boy humiliation, if not heartache.

Here is a pretty poser which I contest will add greatly to people's enjoyment of the film and present them with many moments of entertaining discussion afterwards.

Yours sincerely,

The couch love scene.

Bruno.

The will of Mr. Emmanuel to find out where was the mother.

The credibility and wicked humour of love scenes between Elsie and Willi.

234 Polished.

Nothing.

Felix Aylmer's excellent portrayal of an old Jew, very sincerely acted.

I was very impressed by the natural surroundings and the very good acting.

Mr. Emmanuel's sacrifice and hardships to see things through.

Bruno's love for his mother.

Bruno's mother's history and Bruno. Mr. Emmanuel's kind goodness.

The scene before Mr. Emmanuel's journey to Germany, leading up to Bruno's attempted suicide.

Naturally the trouble to which the Germans will go, to perfect a system of horror and terror.

I don't think the film took my interest in any special part.

German atmosphere and relationship between Elsie and the Nazi.

The human side of the story.

When Emmanuel went to Germany to find Bruno's mother.

Mr. Emmanuel's faith and courage and his pride in England.

Nothing.

The Nazi atrocity atmosphere. (F. Aylmer, though excellent, was the Englishman playing a Jew. Visualise J.E.Bromberg in the part!)

All of it.

The accents which were too guttal and very much forced in parts.

I did not find anything uninteresting.

Nothing was uninteresting.

Can't say definitely.

If we substitute "interest" for "dislike" we can say the Highcourt Judge, or so called - but even he was interesting so can't answer this one in the way required.

The Nazi scenes, we have so many of them these days.

Unfortunately, Mr. Emanuel - Felix Aylmer - was scholarly and dignified but never suggested a Jew and lacked pathos.

Your so called Nazi brutality.

Bruno's Mother, and the sloppy Germans.

The Nazi's.

All the picture.

When the small man said (in court) he knew Mr. Emmanuel.

The awful treatment given to prisoners.

Quite interesting film all through. Nothing dull.

The war aspect.

Prisoners knocking: effect lessened by no apparent aid of early persecution.

Part of picture not seen: I think the prisoners knocking.

I don't know! I wasn't the least bit bored all the way through.

The period in Jail. (I dislike morbid things).

Trial. Scene between Mr. Emmanuel and Professor and charwomen.

Was all interesting.

Incident of the Captain returning from Sea, more could have been made of it.

Everything about the picture was interesting.

Court scenes.

Nothing.

The English scenes although I wasn't bored.

There was nothing that wasn't interesting.
