Cinema Notes

Preparations are now well advanced for the production by British International Pictures of the talking film version of Mr. Sean O'Casey's play, "Juno and the Paycock." The work will be carried out at Elstree under the direction of Mr. Alfred Hitchcock, whose first talking film, "Blackmail," recently met with considerable success in America. In Mr. Hitchcock's new film Miss Sara Allgood will appear as Juno, Mr. Edward Chapman as Captain Boyle, and Mr. Donald Calthrop as Nugent. The part of Johnnie will be played by Mr. John Laurie, who began his stage career 10 years ago in Shakespearean plays at the Old Vic.
