Special Train Arrangements, The Committee is able to an- nounce that, through the courtesy and generosity of the Kowloon Canton Railway, special arrange ments have been made for tran- sporting exhibitors and visitors to the Show, also exhibits, entertainers and catering materials will be
carried free from Kowloon to Sheungshui Railway Station, In addition there will be a specially reduced tariff during the two days of the Show. The Kowloon-Canton Railway administration has also made two distinct time-tables for the two days of the Show in or der to avoid confusion in the ninda of passengers as to which trains are running. Furthermore, as an encouragement to the villagera in the vicinities of Shatin and Taipo, the return fare to Sheungshui will be reduced to 30 cents and 20 cents respectively.

The story then moves to Afghan- istan where Eve has gone with her
Beetham the explorer arrives there to prepare for an ex- pedition into the desert, alse Sir Frederic Bruce. (Gilbert Emery) of Scotland Yard, who is still pursuing his enquiries about the murder of the detective. Eva is desperately and is unfaithful to her. Chance unhappy, her husband ill-uses her
brings her the knowledge that he is also a murderer and she persuades Beetham to take her with him on his expedition. How the Scotland Yard man unravels the problem! and Eve and Beetham, at last come to happinees fills the remainder of a very well told story.
The settings are everywhere good, and as each ebort telling scene succeeds the last it has some- thing of fresh interest to show and forges a necessary link in the story telling. The interest and to a well minor extent Auspense are sustained and the acting through- out is of a good standard. This is possibly the best film that that very charming and clever actress, Lois Moran, has made.
