48 The Filmgocrs' Annual THE SPECKLED BAND P ERHAPS the most exciting of all the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and certainly the most suitable for translation to talking pictures, " The Speckled Band," by virtue of its title, will have a ready made audience. In this drama, the great detective plays what is really a secondary part, although the criminal he runs to earth would hardly think so. Anyhow, the character of which we see most is Dr. Rylott, who plans to kill his two step-daughters in order to inherit their fortune. How nearly he succeeds and how at the very last moment his plot reverts on himself carries " The Speckled Band " to an amazing climax, and to the section of records in Baker Street where Sherlock Holmes keeps " Cases Closed," a notable cast includes Lyn Harding, Raymond Massey, Angela Baddeley, Athole Stewart and Nancy Price.
