LOCAL A.D.C. "ON THE
AIR."
Last night local listeners had the novel experience of listening to a one-act play by members of the Hong Kong A.D.C.. which was broadcast from the Studio.
It was in the nature of no ex- periment to explore the possibili ties of radio drama, and there is reason to believe that this attempt to broadcast -a play with local amateurs taking part was much ap- preciated by listeners.

Judging from last night's effort by the A.D.C., there is probably biz field for this sort of radio enter 'tainment.

First of all, I noticed that the comfort of all passengers, from 1st class to steerage, is well catered for. The cabins are the last word in comfort and luxury and the din- ing saloon of the latter elass com. pare very favourably with some of the 1st class saloons of the smaller vessels that visit this port. The first class dining room was more like the interior of some big, modern hotel, and here I forgot for a few moments that I was on board ship. It was here that. I saw two "very neat models, done in sugar, of the Chichibu Zinga and the Miyazima.
Mr. Andrewes, in reply to the Magistrate, objected, stating that the case hardly warranted such a long delay.
"Summonses Fictitions."
The Magistrate, looking over the summonses, remarked that the com- plainants were objecting to some obstruction by a motor car, which, in their opinion, seemed to be a nuisance. He supposed that they wanted to prevent the continuance of the offence.
Mr. Prior replied that the offence did not now exist and intimated that these summonses are taken out periodically by the railway and are rather fictitious.""
His Worship remarked that this locked rather like prejudging the The first class moking room ja case and that the summonses were furnished in William and Mary hardly of sufficient gravity to be style, while the verandah cafe put over in the way suggested.
