John Barrymore's acting is a joy to behold. He takes the wildly amorous" prince to his heart and makes him his own. He is the half mad, half-and, but wholly charging Grand Duke Rudolph, who comes back to Vienna in defiance of the civil authorities to join sort of his former friends and loyal royal ists in one last revel before sinking back into the obscurity of his exile -in Nice, where he makes a living as a taxi-driver.
It is easy to understand how John Barrymore's captivating prince could win back his love of ten years ago, although she is married to a distinguished middle-aged paychia trist and is a devoted wife. But he wins her, Rudolph's egotistical ardor becomes aboisterous pursuit when Elena elades him at the reunion party in Frna Lucher's hotel and flees to the sacurity of her husband's home.
The Grand Duke's forced er trance into the Krug apartment is one of the most amusing scenes of ths picture, when Dr. Krug meets for the first time his wife's royal lover, who had been an unseen and unwelcome presence in his house for ten years.

A Second Cardiff.
In a recent 1 remark Hong Kong Daily Prese a remark was altributed to the Manager of the K-neloon-Canton Bailway to the effect that Hongkong was not a zes side resort and that consequent on the development at the coal mining |industry in Canton in the near
future, Hongkong would become" s. second Cardiff. Assuming that re- port to be correct we submit that that remark is eptirely irrelevant to the subject under review. Ás a Imatter of port development the future storage of coal will natur- ally receive due attention, but we feel confident that for storing-coal the area' in question would not be considered. "Also, that con) from Canton would be water borne.

"And this year's grand manoeuvres, with the spearhead of the protective" "attacking" fleet pointed at Pearl Harbour are Japan's answer to the American battle feet's recent manoeuvres over the broad expanse of the Pacific from Hawaii to San Pedro and San Francisco, and its prolonged stay on the Pacific Coast all of which croated a tremendous furore in this country.
The "Invaders."
The invading armada, presum- ably the "Red" feet, as it speeds. across the Western Pacific from a more or less hypothetical point in m'docean, will have its approach watched by a fleet of speedy long- range seaplanes, while its flanks are attacked by submarines and de stroyers. Assumedly it will be met, in frontal clash somewhere east of the Bonin Islands by the protective attacking fleet, before it has a chance to enter the waters surrounding the Japanese Empire.
