Blackmail




At one bound the British picture makers jump among the leaders in the talkie race. British International deserves much credit for this splendid phonoplay. Love and murder combine in the story, with a shopgirl, a dastardly blackmailer and a lad from Scotland Yard as the key characters. Some excellent acting by Donald Calthrop as the miscreant. A few such will deliver British producers from their inferiority complex.
