For nearly a year Jullus Hagen, Managing Director of Twickenham Film Studios, had wished to make a screen version of E. Temple Thurston's great' masterpiece "T. Wandering Jew." the picture com- ing on Sunday to the Queen's Theatre; and from the moment he planned to make It he had nobody but Conrad Veldt in mind for the title role. Büs It was not so simple as it sounded Veldt accepted the part as soon as he had read the script but he WBS not free at the time.. He had a series of engagements

The last of these was his part in "I was a Spy" and a few weeks after the completion of this plc- ture he reported at Twickenham, and Mr. Hagen's dreams began to materialise.

The author died while working on the screen adaption of his play. The loss was very real; Thurston was deeply interested in the pro- spect of seeing the "New" become a talkie, and, he was going to as- sist with the production. How-

Whenever Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen are together in a pleture, the result'ia invariably a laugh riot for these two cannot get together without having a fight whenever and wherever pos- sible.
