Evelyn Dall: The newsreels

When Pathe Newsreels captured current celebrities in the 1930s and 40s they were often filmed (silent) with narrations and incidental music added later. On other occasions they used sound live in interview or recorded them in performance.
Evelyn appeared in a few films for Pathe some of which can be viewed in their 'preview' low resolution format for no cost at the Pathe site.

Here is the full list of the Evelyn Pathe films with an appearance for British Gaumont with links to YouTube to view (or purchase should you have the funds!)
