MARLENE'S NEW CABARETS IN KOWLOON
PART
AS FIFTH WIFE OF HENRY VIII.
(8pecial Air-Mail Service)
London, July 11. Marlene Dietrich may star with Charles Laughton.
That is to-day's sensation in film- fand-the Blonde Venus tugging at the beard of Henry VIII.
But that is not all. Marlene Dietrich may appear with Charles Laughton in an American version of Henry VII." to be made by ParamounË. It is planned to cast her as Katherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife-a very import ant figure in the matrimonial galas of the period.
All this is because a British com- pany, London Film Productions, have just completed "The Private Life of Henry VIII." at Elstree,
The production has caught the imagination of America, which is now all-British in its movie out- look," and when Paramount heard about it they decided to team Charles Laughton and Marlene Die trich in a similar story.
The announcement, came as a bomb-abell in the British talkie camp Two Henrys the Eighth would ruin the market in talkie queens.
When Alexander Korda, who has just finished Henry VIII.," heard about this, he telephoned Charles Laughton in New York; but Charles was already half-way to Chicago, en route for Hollywood.
"Get me the train to Chicago at once," said Mr. Korda, and bell them I want to speak to Mr. Laughton"
When told he was to be King Henry again, Charles was complete ly taken aback.
"That's the first I've heard of it," he said. "But I'm not going to wear that confounded beard again-not for £100,000."
But it also happens that Mr. Laughton has a clause in his cou tract with the London company for bidding him to appear in the same subject again for three years.
And Marlene Dietrich is in Ger- many, and apparently has no idea that she is going back to Hollywood to be executed.
The piquant part of the situation
is that Paramount were offered the
story of Henry VIII, four months ago and refused it.

BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
The cabarets in Kowloon seem to; come in for more attention than the ones in Hong Kong The rea- son is not hard to seek for all these establishments in the penin- suls, or nearly all of them, are in the residential sections and as a result, those living around and about these dance halls have to put up with a lot of noise night in and night out.
While I can definitely not of the opinion that dance music is an annoying sort of noise, I can see why the people who have to put up with practically the same tunes for weeks on end reacht it. With all respects to these dance halls, they do not vary their programme" very much. The band goes through the same number of tunes every night and only once in a while is there any change. Why that should be, one cannot tell for it would be expected that as many changes as possible would be the thing to please clients.

If there were no cabarets, they would very prob- ably have to resort to some other means of making a livelihood which may be even more arduus to them But just because they are allowed to carry on, there is no reason why these cabarets should be a nuisance. Perhaps it would be a good thing if these establishments did find some more appropriate place to carry on business.
