It is well above the ordinary run of screen dramas presented recently and shows -Gloria Swanson in a role which gives plenty of scope for her natural abilities. She is again vivid-but-at-the-same-time appeal ing and charming.
No two opinions can be held on the splendid manner in which the moral in "Kindred of the Dust" has been pointed out. Clever acting, remarkable staging of a mighty lumber factory and judici- ous treatment have combined to givea film which will be appreciat- ed, if not long remembered: It will be screened at the Coronet. for the last time to-night.

In reading the Bible what pans of it have appealed to you most!
In addition of course to the Gospels I have received most comfort and guidance from the Book of Job and the Psalmis. They breathe a serene and calming spirit of practical devotion which is so much wanted to-day. They do not create ideals too far fetched and unattainable, and they help 10 realise the beautiful element in life, the fineness and an romance of it, the glow and thrill of it-what Browning called "the fire and the music." Puritanism both in the past and in the present, tries to make people turn their backs on these things, which I constler is a deliberate neglect of some of the highest forces in life.
Government's airship scheme has been issued of which Er50,000 is for airships and £200,000 as initial provision for the programine of airship development, which is to extend over three years. The total expenditure for this period is provisionally estimated not to exceed £1,350,000 gross or £1,200,
