PROMISSORY NOTE

ACTION.
COUNSEL WITHDRAWS SERIOUS. ALLEGATION. POSSIBILITY OF AN ERROR.
A samprising turn occurred dur ing yesterday's resumed hearing of the promissory note action in the Supreme Court before the Chief Justice (Sir Henry Gollar), be tween Lam Ting On, head of the King On Tong (plaintif), and the Ma Pak Leung firm, of 310, Queen's "Road Central.
The claim is for 83,000 under the terms of a note dated January 16, 1923, in favour of the King On Tong, plus 81,708 interest for 62 Chinese months at one per cent. total of per month, making a
Mr. F. C. Jenkin (instructed by Messrs Hastings, Derinys and Bowley was for plaintiffs. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, O.B.E., K.C., and Mr. Eldon Potter, E.C., (instructed by Mesars, d'Almada and Mason)
were for defendants
The Allegation. At Tuesday's hearing. Mr. Potter alleged that some Chinese charac ters on the edge of one of the books produced by plaintiff as evidence had been rubbed off. His Lordship pointed out the reriousness of the allegation and said he would take no note of it. Mr. Potter agreed that the matter was serious.
"FOUR SONS" AT THE QUEEN'S.
BEAUTIFUL EFFECTS OF SUNSHINE.
FINE ACTING BY MARGARET MANN.
[BY or FILM CRITIC.]
་
The first thing that strikes you about Four Soas," which you can see at the Queen's until Saturday,' is the really beautiful light effects. Fox fims used to be remarkable for a rather hard and brilliant lighting, but the director of this picture was evidently determined to alter this reputation. There are a number of outdoor scenes right through the film in which the figures are seen through, not in, food of sunshine and the scenes of interiors in the day time are light cd through the windows as they would be in real life. Several direc tors have tried their hands of late with effects in mist and fog and the scene on the battlefield with the morning mist rising is as good as any I have been.
THE SACRED HEART COLLEGE.
YESTERDAY'S PRIZE-GIVING. The annual prize-giving in_con- nection with the Sacred Heart College took place at the Wajestic Theatre, Kowloon, yesterday morn: ing. The awards were distributed by Mr. Wong Kwong Tin, in the presence of a large gathering of students, parents and friends.
Addressing the students in Chi nese, Mr. Wong Kwong Tin said that the College had been most the good successful, thanks to management of the headmaster and the efficiency of the teaching staff.
The best time for studying, con- tinued Mr. Wong, was, during one's youth, when there were no dames- tic affairs to worry the mind.
Annual Report.
Mr. J. S. Sbak, Headmaster, in the course of his report stated: I am glad to say that the year has been one of achievement and pro- gress.
