VICTORIA CINEMATOGRAPH
It is now a esa of standing room only at this popular place of entertainment, and it is necessary to go early so as to Mecuro eests. The series of pictures which
■re being shown at prosent are exception- ally good, and most of them are new to Hongkong audiences. Miss Montez ia strong favourite with the crowd, and her yandeville turn is exceedingly bright. Mixe Lauro Diamond is also very popular, and justly so, for her business is clever and refined throughout. The management would do well to retain these two artista throughout the coming festive season, for they are long way the best we have had here for a long time.
