TELL ENGLAND.
GALLIPOLI EPIC AT
QUEEN'S.
A tradė notico states:—
General Sir Ian Hamilton, who commanded the Mediterranean Ex- peditionary Force in 1918, not only had the success of " Tell England " at heart from the moment the pro- duction, of this spio of the Galli- poli campaign was first mooted, but he also expressed his willing ness to take part in the picture in order to accentuate its authenticity. At the suggestion of Anthony Asquith, the co-director of the film, Sir Ian therefore took part in scenes which reconstructed his conference with the captains of the Fleet on April 10, 1915, aboard the flagship HM.S. Queen Elizabeth, which outlined his tactics for the landing ten days later.
Dramatically he voices from the screen his determination to " land my whole force in one-like a ham mer stroke-with the fullest viol ence," and there is no doubt that the appearance of this renoward British soldier in "Tell England " plays an important part in this drama of the Eastern Front.
Sir Ian Hamilton submitted patiently in the studio to all the telium of the cameraman's ar
man,
the rangements, make-up shuud technicians' demands, and the eager coaching of Asquith. Even when after a dozen rehear ants of his talk-the studio doors were shut and "shooting " began
sentences, his first few mechanic dropped a plank and the whole discussion had to be started over again.
