Death at Broadcasting House (1934)

"You can't go in there, there's a play being broadcast."

"I'm looking for Variety?"

"That's eight floors down."

"Yes, but I've just come eight floors up!"

"Then it'll be sixteen floors from where you started."

Henry Kendall. 1841-1882

Mooni

HE that is by Mooni now Sees the water-sapphires gleaming Where the River Spirit, dreaming, Sleeps by fall and fountain streaming   Under lute of leaf and bough!— Hears what stamp of Storm with stress is, Psalms from unseen wildernesses Deep amongst far hill-recesses—   He that is by Mooni now.

  Yea, for him by Mooni's marge Sings the yellow-hair'd September, With the face the gods remember, When the ridge is burnt to ember,   And the dumb sea chains the barge! Where the mount like molten brass is, Down beneath fern-feather'd passes Noonday dew in cool green grasses   Gleams on him by Mooni's marge.

  Who that dwells by Mooni yet, Feels in flowerful forest arches Smiting wings and breath that parches Where strong Summer's path of march is,   And the suns in thunder set! Housed beneath the gracious kirtle Of the shadowy water-myrtle— Winds may kiss with heat and hurtle,   He is safe by Mooni yet!

  Days there were when he who sings (Dumb so long through passion's losses) Stood where Mooni's water crosses Shining tracks of green-hair'd mosses,   Like a soul with radiant wings: Then the psalm the wind rehearses— Then the song the stream disperses— Lent a beauty to his verses,   Who to-night of Mooni sings.

  Ah, the theme—the sad, gray theme! Certain days are not above me, Certain hearts have ceased to love me, Certain fancies fail to move me,   Like the effluent morning dream. Head whereon the white is stealing, Heart whose hurts are past all healing, Where is now the first, pure feeling?   Ah, the theme—the sad, gray theme! . . .   Still to be by Mooni cool— Where the water-blossoms glister, And by gleaming vale and vista Sits the English April's sister,   Soft and sweet and wonderful! Just to rest beneath the burning Outer world—its sneers and spurning— Ah, my heart—my heart is yearning   Still to be by Mooni cool!

Henry Kendall and Joan Barry in Rich and Strange (Alfred Hitchcock, 1931) Cast: Henry Kendall, Joan Barry, Percy Marmont, Betty Amann, Elsie Randolph. Screenplay: Alfred Hitchcock, Alma Reville, Val Valentine, based on a novel by Dale Collins. Cinematography: Jack E. Cox, Charles Martin. Art direction: C. Wilfred Arnold. Music: Adolph Hallis. One of Alfred Hitchcock's early talkie flops, Rich and Strange begins well, with an opening shot of Fred Hill (Henry Kendall) at work in an expressionist-style depersonalized office set, followed by a montage showing his attempt to make it home on the Underground, dealing with elbowing crowds and a recalcitrant umbrella. There's a nicely synched bit in which umbrellas open to musical flourishes before Fred's fizzles. Then it's home to a drab and chaotic existence before the Hills receive their wished-for deliverance from the daily muddle: A rich uncle tells Fred that he can have an advance on his inheritance so he and his wife, Emily (Joan Barry), can live a little. They set off to see the world. This early part of the film is perhaps the best because it mostly picks up on the skills Hitchcock learned through his work in silent movies. In fact, it is shot through with droll title cards and very little dialogue of consequence. The Hills are overwhelmed by Paris and shocked at the Folies Bergère, then board ship -- not a promising moment for Fred, who succumbed to seasickness on the Channel crossing -- for a cruise on the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal toward Asia. (The American title was East of Shanghai.) And then the talk takes over, as both Fred and Emily have shipboard romances, she with a somewhat dashing bachelor on his way to Ceylon, he with a German "princess" who cons him out of his money. Rich and Strange is a curious mess, with Kendall, a once-well-known music hall comedian, awkward in the romantic part of Fred's story. Barry worked for Hitchcock before, dubbing  Anny Ondra's lines in  Blackmail (1929), but as an on-screen performer she's not much more than pretty. Hitchcock liked the film, but nobody else did very much, and opinion doesn't seem to have changed with time.
