'HARMONY HEAVEN.” Harmony Heaven," the first Bri- tisa revue fim to reach Hong Kong, was shown at the Queen's Theatro for the first time yesterday, featuring Poly. Ward and Stuart 4all.
For one thing, the picture show- ed that tho British can сотрове snappy. Lunes of the modern variety; that they have good ingers and dancers
--and pretty giris to make up, as good a chorus as any that Holly- can produce; but when it

comes to azuon which is essential
to pat over such a show, Elstree proved to be slow by comparison w.tn Hollywood.
The story of romance behind the scence is as good as any eeen in Alywood revues, but in the un- folding of it one fit that a little mataing which is hard to express is lacking. Perhaps it was that the love making was not convincing

Why should Elstree want to fol- low Hollywood in all that they do? Revues were never really popular Anyway, as after one has seen one all the others bore. Let the British producers concentrate things

It gives a notable insight into the psychology of Naval men of both countries-men fighting bravely and without bitterness against the.r enemics. And, finally, in the par- son of the blue-eyed and flaxen- haired Marion Leasing, it presents the speaking screen with a new and ighly promising actress of stellar rank.

"A WARM CORNER”
One of the outstanding screen comedies of this, and many years "A Warm Corner"-comes to the King's Theatre shortly.
This comedy - a British pro duction adapted from the celebrated Prince's Theatre, Londen, play- sets out to tickle the r'alble facul ties of audiences, and it does so with a gusto and a success that leave the spectator panting, for the laughs come thick and fast and
continuous.
This is not to be wondered at

Henson's face play in the picture is itself a rich comedy, His bustle, comedy sense displayed in a hun- dred gestures and movements, and his clever use of his voice,- this is his first "talkie"-keep the merriment at top note in an endless succession tibly humorous situations.
