TREAT FOR KIDDIES
Enjoyable Perform- ance at Peak Club'.
Mapy a parent is often heard re- narking on the lack of suitable filma for little children. In fact this is true, for amidst the hundreds of films that come to Hong Kong 'very few can be shown to children under ten.
-For this reason an entertainment as the one given at the Peak Club yester day afternoon is "doubly welcome. The films shown were specially suited for tole and the enthusiastic way in which they were received showed the way the children enjoyed them.
The cinematograph performance" started with the ever popular "Cartoons," in "The, Jail Birds" which were greeted with shouts of laughter and many exclamations, of delight on all sides. Next came a comedy called Schools Out,” but the real treat of the programme was in the next item of Pack Up Your Troubles in which our old friends Laurel and Hardy made many person helpless with laughter.
EX
The credit for the success of the entertainment goes to the Committee of the Peak Club who had arranged this treat for the children.
