 A modern source lists Philip Van Zandt (qv) as Kurt and includes  Henry Daniell (qv) in the cast as well. However, the role of Kurt  was played by Harry Woods (qv) and neither Van Zandt nor Daniell  appear in the film at all. The unidentified actor mistaken for  Daniell plays a Scotland Yard detective slowly driving the police  vehicle following the trail of paint, toward the climax of the film.  First seen in 3/4 profile leaning out the car window, he does seem  to resemble Daniell. But when he speaks the accompanying line "they  fade out again sir" to Dennis Hoey as "Lestrade", and subsequent  lines, he clearly has a rather crude *Brooklyn* accent, and seen in  other shots during the scene does not in any way resemble Daniell,  and the momentary appearance to the contrary is clearly an optical  illusion.
