Intertitles

"But back to civilisation and - Kings Lynn. What a place to idle away the few short days that we lucky ones get.” “Green glades and ancient masonry ~ where nature covers the ravages of time.” “And ships of all kind slowly nose their way out to sea.” “While on every hand a seascape or landscape that gives joy to the artistic eye.”

Background Information

British Screen Tatler was conceived as a sister cinemagazine to the newsreel, British Screen News. It was made by British Screen Pictures and distributed every Monday for two years [1928-1930]. The series' name, reminiscent as it is of the print magazine, The Tatler, suggests that British Screen Pictures had aspirational aims in mind for its content.
