"Very few tennis players would have given Toba credit for such a high standard of play but his work showed that he is a real champion in every sense of the word.
"To have been able to take two straight sets off the world known player, Kumagae, is sufficient in itself to fortell a happy future for him, but to have done it whilst Kumagae was apparently in good form adds to the younger player's Juurels.
"Toba showed the steadiness und never feared the tricky play of his opponent who mixed "clever strokes with fast drives, executed with ease. Of the two players' it. was apparent that Kumagae was. perhaps the cleverer but the con- sistent and deadly returns of Toba were much admired: They woni him the match.

“In Siegfried There are Things too Beautiful For Words."
Thus does a famous critic describe the great wonder film.
"THE
NIBELUNGS"
Besides magnificent moments of valour and glory, there is to be seen in, this superb picture a dragon as splendid as any medieval monster ever imagined. There is a great forest through which Siegfried passes-mighty, mysterious. / There are the Mistlands, Trapped in a magic that no, stage steam can compass. There are flaming felda through which Siegfried rides to the castle, with its wide rooms and white walls, and low doors; and its vast empty floors across which people move with mythical remoteness.

These are but a few of the exquisite settings that make "The Nibelungs" a feast of beauty that will long haunt the memory. No one who has a soul above the commonplace things of life in Hongkong should miss this masterpiece of romance.
