NO MORE PURPLE FINGERS
Copies Without Carbon!
How much time and money would be saved in offices if cupies could be made on a typewriter. without the use of carbon paper? Now comes an invention, which will be shown and explained at the 1937 British Industriék 'Fair next month, completely eliminating the need for carbon paper. All that the typist has to do is to feed two or three sheets of paper into the machine and the new invention does the rest.
It consists of a metal attach- ment, which can be fitted to any typewriter, and a double ribbon off the single spool. No more purple fingers!
SHIRLEY IN SHANGHAI
Bhirely Temple, like Charile Chan, seems to be beginning a world tour, "Stowaway," which is still in production, takes her to China, and establishes her in Shanghai as the orphan child of missionary parents.
The story begins in a mission school, but very soon Shirley makes friends with tourists, and especially with Robert Young.›› In fact, she becomes so fond of him that when he leaves for America, she stows away on the same ship. On the boat she meets quite a number of old friends, including, Arthur Treacher (a butler, "of
· course), Alice Faye, and Helen Westly all of whom have been with her in previous pictures. It was reported a little while agu that Bhirley was learning two Chinese' songs, This is the film in which sheЛli sing them,
