THE HON. MR. A. O. LANG. APPOINTED UNOFFICIAL
MEMBER.
At the last meeting of the Legis- lative Council, Mr. A. O. Lang was sworn a member of the Council taking the place of Mr. E. V. D. Parr, who has left the Colony. Mr. Lang has had previous experience of Legislative Council work which will stand him in good stead. Added to this is his extensive knowledge of conditions in the In the course of his speech the Colony. We hesitate to enumerate Chainman drew attention to the

Many of the good roads; im- proved surfaces and, safe comers are largely due to our constant agitation and it may be opportune here to express our appreciation of the generous and ready manner in which the Government and the Police Department have always endeavoured to meet the desires and suggestions put before them. My predecessor referred to the bad condition of the road between Un Long and Sheungshui, and I am glad to say extensive repairs lave heen carried out since that time, which have added greatly to the comfort of the motorist. The gate post in the road at the crossing near Sheungshui, which has been a source of annoyance and even danger for a long time, has recently been removed. But it has not been possible yet to per- suade the Government to widen the narrow bridges. I hope it will not be long before something is done.

CORONET THEATRE.
MARY PICKFORD'S NEW PICTURE.
The Coronet is showing a big pic- ture, commencing to-morrow. It is "The Love Light," a United Artists production which takes two hours to screen, and in which thi favourite of favourites, Mary Pick- ford, appears in an entirely new rule. It may be mentioned that the idea for this story was obtained by Mary whilst on her honeymoon with her husband Douglas Fair- banks, in Italy. "The Luve Light" is an emotional drama, but Missi Pickford, not only for her own artistic advancement but also for the advancement of the whole motion picture industry, has de! cided to get away from the con- ventional hackneyed stories and attempt present life as it really is. is a tale of Italy and in order to get the proper effect and at- mosphere, Miss Pickford not only secured a number of players from Italian theatres, but also insisted that the Italian language be spoken throughout. Although a drama, "The Love Light" number of situations.
The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., do all they can for the convenience of people wishing to transfer cars across the harbour. The proposi-It tion is not a paying one, and we must be thankful for the facilities available.
Since July 1st, 1922 the number of cars in use has increased by 244. and there are now 809 registered. During the course of the year, Mr. Lanmert gave a very interesting series of lectures, which were fair ly well attended and very muc appreciated. It is hoped to arrange for further similar lectures.
