CINEMA NOTES.
THE WOELD THEATRE. "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tow night?" is a drama that hits straight to the heart of every human soul and is"a big super-special photoplay of tears, wniles, pathos, joy and laughter. It drew big audiences while showing at the World, Theatre during the last two nights and is praised by all who have seen it, To day will be its final performance and cinema-gers are advised not to miss this beautifel and magnificent picture.
QUEEN'S THEATER-
Hongkong cinema-goers do not need to be told what Viola Dana represents on the silent stage. There are some who would not dispute her claim to be the Screen Queen of Mirth but her talents do not lie solely in the direction of comedy. Her winsome, smile has captur
many admirers And her piquant mannerisms come as naturalty, that she is bound to shine in any light comedy- drama with a touch of melodrama, here and there. In The Five Dollar Baby · plenty of room is found for fun-fun of the kind which is neither riotous nor unnatural. The Five Dollar Baby" opered to an enthusiastic audience at the Queen's Theatre last night and will be shown there during the week-end.
THE CORONET.
The new picture which comes to the Coronet Theatre this evening does not belie the promises of ita name.
The West-bound Limited is as exciting a railway story as any cinema-goer could Wish: Among its inore breathless mo- epts are the scenes where two screech. ing iron monsters rush at lightning speed head on toward destruction; a terrific duel to death takes place in the careening cab of the wild-running locomotive; a

The Day of the Knight is Here!
IT IS THE
WILLYS KNIGHT
Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.
It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car
in the market.
1-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six
unnecessary.
The Knight motor is steam principle. The valves are two cylindóical sloeros with rectangular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the porta in the block allow the ingress and egros of the gases without obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly of the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of metar, so that every onnes of energy available in utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives as such tremendous power
“It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.
The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great he radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the hand of the piston gets hot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectively.
L-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.
C. While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain samount of the residue from the burat gasos marks up behind the wide saling ring in the cylinder head and, so this building in process obtains, it krops pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the innar sisers until it completely, seals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.
-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other
wears out,
All parts in the Willys Knight car as assembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is forced into these clarazices under heavy pressure sở that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of oil instead of wearing out.". In other words, every bearing in this motor in sa oil bearing instead of a metal to metal. bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with rubeognant quick wear and noise (
It has aminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parta necessary in the operation of a cyliname?
