One of his notable roles was in "The Rat" (1925), where he showcased his talent alongside Mae Marsh. Their chemistry was undeniable, making it a memorable film for audiences worldwide. Novello's involvement in various productions extended beyond acting. He also wrote music for plays such as "A Member of Tattersall's, " further showcasing his versatility as an artist. His collaborations with other renowned figures were equally noteworthy. At the Chelsea Arts Ball, he shared the spotlight with none other than Noel Coward himself, two creative powerhouses coming together to create magic. In "The Vortex" (1928), Novello starred alongside Frances Doble, delivering a powerful performance that resonated with audiences long after the curtains fell. The intensity they brought to their roles made this production truly unforgettable. Another significant film in Novello's career was "The Constant Nymph" (1928). His on-screen chemistry with Mabel Poulton added depth and emotion to this timeless love story. Throughout the 1920s, Novello solidified himself as one of Britain's most beloved stars. His contributions to both film and stage were unparalleled during this era. Collaborations continued to shape Novello's career; working alongside Isabel Jeans in "The Return of the Rat" allowed him to showcase yet another facet of his talent – proving that he could captivate audiences no matter who stood beside him on screen or stage. While primarily known for his acting prowess, it is important not to overlook Novello's musical abilities.

Novello may have been temporarily lured away from the stage by the allure of the silver screen, but his impact remained undeniable.
