WILLIAM POWELL'S FILM DEBUT
IN JOHN BARRYMORE'S "SHERLOCK HOLMES 2
Willian Powell, appearing on Thursday in "High Pressure" at the Queen's Theatre, made his first scroon appearance as the villain in "Sherlock Holmes" with John Barrymore.
From then on he remained in filing with brief returns to the stage. Among bis early screen successes were When Knighthood Was in Flower," "The Bright Shawl" and "Romola." Since then he has steadily won favour, in inany filme in which he was either the enavo man of the world or the. tattered outcast. It was the ad- vent of talking pictures which, by adding the magnetism of the vulos to his other talenta, made his rise to stardom awift and sure.
High Pressure" presents him in a breathtaking comedy, charac torization as a blue sky stock sales- man, and wildcat promoter, who hits the high spots of the Big Town, nonchalant and enthusiastically on the lookout for now adventures. Quite different from earlier por trayals, the Gar Evans of Mr. Powell is an actionful portrait, the
