MAN WHO LIVED
TWICE
A hunted killer submits to a dangerous brain operation which completely obliterates his memory and alters his personality. Plastic surgery changes his appearance. Under the aegis of the surgeon responsible for his transformation this Mr. Hyde becomes a Dr. Jekyll, a promising surgeon who is hon- oured and respected. In the event that the law recognizes the former killer in this now admirable per- sonality, is the latter responsible for the former's misdeeds?
This is question posed in Colum- bla's "The Man Who Lived Twice a thrilling, heart-thumping melo- drama which opens to-day at the King's Theatre. Under Harry Lachman's splendid direction this theme is developed into startling entertainment. It traverses In dramatic fashion the life of Blick Rawley; strikingly enacted by Ralph. Bellamy. from the fateful moment when, the gangster-mur- derer decides to undergo the brain surgery until the climactic court room scene where, as Dr. Blake, he defends himself against the crimes he is told he had committed but which he cannot remember.

EXPANSION
£3,500,000 Scheme Announced
The United Steel Companies, Limited, are to spend £3,500,000 on new plant at the Appleby worka of their Scunthorpe, Lines, branch during the next few years.
This announcemen, was made by Sir Walter Benton Jonës, chairman of the combine, at Scunthorpe on Jan. 29 after the opening.of cot- tage homes for aged employees of the Appleby-Frodingham Com- The extension. will be the pany. most important development in the North Lincolnshire steel dis- trict since the War. All the other
18 steel concerns in the area are carrying out extensions to meet the working at full capacity. Al- demand for steel, and every plant
though no official figures have been ziren, it is believed that when the new steel plant is fully operating between 2,000 and 3,000 more men will be employed.
Sir Walter Benton Jones gald that the United Steel Companies, Limited, had decided to build a complete new Irop and steel works next to the existing Appleby works. This would include four new blast. furnaces, duplication of the Apple- by steel plant, new coke ovens, a new sintering plant, and new gaa holder." The complete scheme would eventually cost. £3,500,000 but at present they intended to proceed with only half of each unit, at a cost of £2,500,000. The contract for the new coke ovens would soon be let, and plans for the first- two blast furnaces were siready in preparation. One of the steet furnaces was under construction. When the full scheme was complet- ed they would be able to turn out 1,000,000 tons of pig iron and 1,000,- 900 tons of steel a year at their Scunthorpe works.
The prosperity of the iron and steel industry of the United King- dom, he added, was not exaggerat- ed in any degree by armaments re- quirements.
