  • Hitchcock began to dabble creatively. After the company's in-house publication, The Henley Telegraph, was founded in 1919, he often submitted short articles and eventually became one of its most prolific contributors.
  • His first piece was "Gas" (1919), published in the first issue, in which a young woman imagines that she is being assaulted one night in Paris - only for the twist to reveal that it was all just a hallucination in the dentist's chair, induced by the anaesthetic.
  • Hitchcock's second piece was "The Woman's Part" (1919), which involves the conflicted emotions a husband feels as he watches his wife, an actress, perform onstage.
  • Hitchcock's first few films faced a string of bad luck. His first directing project came in 1922 with the aptly titled Number 13. The production was cancelled because of financial problems.
  • In 1925, Michael Balcon of Gainsborough Pictures gave Hitchcock another opportunity for a directing credit with The Pleasure Garden made at UFA Studios in Germany; the film was a commercial flop.
