Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers The King and Queen of Carioca 'reign again with the New Dance Sensation "The Continental "—in the Gay Divorcee."
One of the most elaborate new spectacles of beauty, rhythm and romance feature is the screen's big musical comedy, "The Gay Divorcee" which is coming to The King's Theatre very soon.
The stars are Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the King and Queen of "Carioca" fame and the plot is one of the most entertaining farces that Hong Kong will have seen for some time. It is a hilari
Gus sort of romance in which a' ceaseless flow of complications is worked in.
TE
A number of new dance numbers included in "The Gay Divorcee" are "The Continental," "Night and Day." "The French Doll Dance and "Let's Knock Kneez." There are also instrumental and terpai- chorean novelties in this play such as is not often seen in talking pictures
While the main romantic role is
in the he is of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astare, second, and even mere laughable romance is pro- vided by Alice Brady and Edward which the Everett Horton, in
inimitable Miss Brady parkues Horton with marital designs.
The settings are on a very lavish scale and the effect is pleasing. Particularly outstanding is a scene representing a resort hotel as such hostelries are expected to be fifty years hence! This in itself is in- teresting.
No fewer than fifty beautiful giris and fifty dancing men were

One of the ensemble is a daring | Anaconda Copper Adagio dance in which the entire chorus takes part. A unique and thrilling part of this presentation is the fact that the girls appear in full length gowns, marking the first time this risky dance was ever at tempted in anything other than the scanty attire which makes for safety as the men hurt their fair partners through the air.

His idea was to establish a Gen. Foods (1.80) Museum at Nanda, the ancient Gen. Motors (18) Oxford of India, and to store in Gen. Rlyc Bigs (1) it his rare collection of ancient Gillette Saf (1) manuscripte and paintings and Glidden Co. (1) other art treasures, but, not being Gold Dust (120) very optimistic as to the materiali- zation of the scheme, he has already made a gift of the major portion of his collection to the Patna Museum.
His mission to the Forbidden Land was of a scholastic and research nature, and, this being his second visit, he was quite familiar with the route and the difficulties attending it. Knowing the langu- age of the land, and having friend. ly relations with those ju authority there, he had the privilege of an sudience with the 23-year-old Regent Reading Llama, who grant ed him a letter of introduction to his own monastery in order that he might be shown its unique treasures of ancient art and manuscript. In this monastery he saw rare paintings belonging to the 11th or 12th century which were originally acquired from, India.
