Can you help


This is a new section that will ask for your help enhance our knowledge of cinema history. Usually, we'll be taking a well-known actor or film and trying to fill in a few gaps in their histories, or trying to identify a still.

Who is this performer and why is she in uniform?

Betty Balfour

Well, Briony Dixon has identified her as Betty Balfour. But which film is she in?

Again we have the Wardour trademark on the left and the BIP trademark on the right. Behind it is the date stamp 16 Mar 1930. The likely candidates are Nipper or Raise the Roof. Pn the other hand, Stuart reckons it's from Die Regimentstochter, a German film released in this country by BIP.

If you have any idea then please send an email to us.
