Hello, librarians, I wonder if anyone can help with this...

I'm looking for this article:

H.D., "Conrad Veidt," Close Up, 1 (Sept. 1927)

H.D. is Hilda Doolittle, the poet (and Ezra Pound's friend). She published several film reviews and I find a lot written about them but not them.

On the Internet Archive I found uploads of Close up from the years 1929, 1931, 1930, but couldn't ferret out 1927... maybe I just didn't search well.

I even have the beginning of the review, which is of The Student of Prague:

A small room, a stuffy atmosphere; a provincial Swiss lakeside cinema....There's something wrong and I have seen those horses making that idiotic turn on the short grass at least eight times. What is it? I won't stay any longer....O that's what the little man is after.


If this article is uploaded somewhere online, I don't seem to be able to find it, so... super-Librarian to the rescue? Here's hoping...

THANKS in advance for anything

Does this PDF work for you?

https://monoskop.org/images/7/77/Donald_Friedberg_Marcus_eds_Close_Up_1927-1933_...

See pp. 120–124, which seems to reprint this piece?
