The long break provides a good respite, for somo reflection on the performances of the various Clubs. For the present, it is sufficient to dwell on the "A" Division com- petition in which has, so far, been extraordinarily interesting. The other Division have not yet reached the "critical" stages. Individual form has played no mean part, and
some mention of the leading players will not be out of place.

THE LADY OF THE
PAVEMENTS."
FINE FILM AT THE QUEEN'S.
الحرارة المالية
[BY OUR FILM CRITIC.]
The Lady of the Pavements is a rather astonishing film pro- duction. It is not astonishing in itself but because it comes to us from D. W. Griffith Griffith, per- bapa the Arat hd director to pro daee anything on a big scale," and who has, in point of fact, been responsible for most of the big spectacular films, which have proved a success, had a very easily recog
There were certain situations and types which were never missing" from his pictures, and perhaps the most persistent characteristic was that in each pie- ture he tried not only to preach a sermon but to preach one which covered nearly every aspect of life. In fact a Grinch film was rather like one of the more ambitious He novels of the Victorian era.
In the first Centre Court match Tilden beat Doctor Prann (Gernisable touch. many) 6-0, 6-0, 98. The German had A severe high-kicking service which took five games from Tilden in the third set.
Allison (America) beat Wheately (a British Davis Cup player) 6i, 6-1, 6-1. Both these games were in the third round.,
Other third round results were: Cochet boat Rogers (the Irish Davis Cup player) 5-7, 6-0, 9-7 Abas jeft his signature out of "The
body of the Pavements," 6-3.
Boussus (France) beat (America) 6-1, 10-8, 7-3.

In the Ladies Singles second round, Senorita De Alvarez beat Madame Serpieri (Italy, and the French gumber one player), 6-2,

The plot was tamilar to me and is based, I believe, on a short story by Marjorie Bowen. If my memory. serves me, it has been altered somewhat but remains in essentials the same. Griffith has produced it ia a straight-forward manner with no attempt at either' pictorial or psychological subtlety.

At the be- ginning of the season, it will be remembered, they were without P. W. L.

It goes without saying that they have considerably en hanced the Club's chances.

Sewell and Humphreys form one of the most tenacious pairs in the League.
They are stone-wallers against whom all good exponents advise championship aspirants 10 practise hitting. Without attempt ing in any way to be brilliant, they are invariably successful in collect ing points by their ability in re- trieving most of their opponents' sbota, including dificult ones. Lawrie is of the same type, and en- jeys the game just as much na anybody in the Colony. He has shown improvement and maintain ed good form by consistent practice. Owen Hughes, his partner, is "a diferent type and, perhaps ia apt to lose points by reckless play, but still the two are difficult to beat when they gains the inet.
The one-set system suita the tem- perament of the Cricket Club, and every factor considered they are exceptionally hard to beat. The Chinese Recreation Club did not take them seriously enough at the beginning, and naturally paid the penalty. None of the latter has shown any improvement, and with the exception of M. K. Lo they have fallen off in form. M. W. Lo, Ng Bze Kwong C. Choa, Yew Man Kit and Ho Ka Lau, the other members of the team, have not, so far, played up to their respective reputation. The two last named are perhaps the most inconsistent. That they have a thorough know. ledge of the game, its courtcraft, its technique, its tactics, etc. is apparently from their per- formances, but they invariably can- not bring their ideas into execu- tion, Two of their faults are over hitting and the bounce of the ball. In the first they attempt to hit harder than they should and in the other they meet the ball much too high to suit their play, with the result that they send a great proportion of shots into the net,

other members of their team. E. Green and T. Lay, two fine singles exponents, invariably fail in doubles, and in times of crisis often break down. Millard has maintained consistent form, but is obviously lacking the strong stamina he showed before. Guest, his partner, has shown a slight im provement of late, steady play gaining for him a deserved place
in the team.

The Indian Recreation Club players are not doing as well as they had wished. §. Å. Rumjahn, their best player, as usual, is show ing inconsistent form, playing, for instance, very well against the Chinese Recreation Club, and bad- ly against South China. His rart ner, A. H., is influenced by his performances If in form, the two are very formidable. AA. Ram- jahn and S. H. Tarnail have still to show their best form, while J. M. Rozack and B, A. Hussain do not appear to be cut much ice in the competition. They will have to be at their very best in every match to realise their hopes of a come-back this season.
