The Filmgoers' Annual 89 ALFRED HITCHCOCK,whodirec/"A ted "The Skin Game" began work as an artist in Fleet Street, and soon gave evidence of the genius that is in him by leaving it. The truth is, that there was a difference of opinion between Alfred Hitchcock, then sixteen years of age, and his employer. The difference amounted to half a crown a week. Hitchcock thought he should have it as a rise. His employer thought not. They split ! And a few days later the youth, who was to become Britain's leading motion picture director, began -St arring EDMUND GWENN work as a designer and letterer of title-cards at seven and six a week more than he had asked ot Fleet Street. Hitchcock proceeded to learn every department of film making, and, in 1925, with " The Pleasure Garden," made a sensational appearance as a director. His first talking picture, " Blackmail," remains a landmark in the history of British films. His pictures include " The Lodger," " Downhill," " Easy Virtue," " The Rng." ' The Farmer's Wife," " (.".hampagne," " The Manxman," " Juno and the Paycock," and " Murder." His work is distinguished by brilliantly original treatment. He is a creative director of real genius.
