8H The Filmgoers' Annual Above, left : Jill Esmond, C. V. France, and Helen Haye. Above, right : Edward Chapman. Left : Helen Haye. Below : Edmund Gwenn. FIRST played in London at the St. Martin's Theatre, in 1920, " The Skin Game" has remained perhaps the most successful play John Galsworthy has written. In the original cast, the part of Hornblower, the ruthless man of business, was played by Edmund Gwenn, and Amy Hillcrist, the equally ruthless woman of the aristocracy, was played by Helen Haye. Both these gifted artists appear in the talking picture, with an exceptionally brilliant company of supporting players, to make " The Skin Game " one of the L SKIN GAME most vividly English films yet seen. It is a happy result of the coming of talking pictures that actors ' and actresses hitherto seen hardly at all outside London may now be seen and heard throughout the English speaking world. No one may look at a picture of the superb quality of " The Skin Game," and still say with sincerity that silent films may come back again. No one may look at the work of such players as Edmund Gwenn, Edward Chapman, C. V. France, Frank Lawton, John Longden, Helen Haye, Phyllis Konstam and Jill Esmond without realising, as Charles Chaplin has pointed out, how much vigour dialogue has added to motion pictures.
