"BROADWAY BILL WILL
SOON BE HERE
TODAY the Chine Mat offers its readers yet another
tition or, rather, two competitions in one.
Do you know this star? He's handsome and dapper and has been in many pictures! His latest, "Broadway" Bill," is coming to Hong Kong, to the Queen's Theatre on Saturday week. Five more photographs, will be pub- lished in the next five days. China Mail readers identi- fying them correctly, and sending in the best 50-word write-up on each individual star, will win tickets to see this glorious new film! To-day's star appeared in “42nd Street," and "Stand Up and Cheer!" as well as many other notable successes!
(Continued from Page 5.)
"CLEOFATRA”—ALHAMBRA AND CENTRAL THEATRES
The story of the life and love of Egypt's most famous Queen, Cleopatra, furnished the roman- tic theme for Cecil B. De Mille's latest photographic triumph, en- mpe- titled "Cleopatra," which is being shown simultaneously at the AF- hambra and Central Theatres, ⠀⠀
De Mille's "Cleopatra is the heart-touching romance of the Siren of the Nile and Mark Antony, most gallant of all Romans. Set against a background of unparalleled splendour, with Rome and Egypt shown in all their beauty and power, the world's greatest Jove story, is unfolded.
The film has a splendid support- ing cast, Including Ian Keith, Joseph Schildkraut, GA Aubrey Smith, Gertrude Michael, Irving] Pichel, Claudia Dell, Edwin Max- well and Harry Beresford.
It is interesting to note that there are several old time stars jappearing in this film. Ten or fif teen years ago they could have fill- ed any theatre to capacity and their combined salaries would have reached beyond the million mark, Foremost among them are William Farnum, Bryant Washburn, Mary MacLanen, Jack Mulhall and Robert Warwick
