There was an amusing incident during the production of "I was a Spy" at the Gaumont-British studion. The film comes to the King's Theatre on Wednesday. Madeleine Carrell, as an extremely good-looking daughter of a restaurant keeper, is making the beds when she is postered with the dubious intentions of a drunken Ger
man offer. The dialogue in this situation is hardly pro-tarman, and imagine the feelings of Madeleine Carrell and Victor Baville when they noticed they wore being watched by Ronnte Mulfor and her escort, A young German officer, who were on a flying visit to London. The director's tact ful explanation that this particular scene was the only scene in the ple ture which showed the German officer In a bad light was a masterpiece of diplomacy. Miss Muller and her friend both saw the funny side of the situation and laughed heartily.
