WINGS OVER
HONOLULU
Take the flashing colour of Uncle Sam's Dying forces, mix it with the romance of the South Seas, wrap it all in, a swiftly paced. dramatic story about a beautiful Navy wife who is lashed by the tongues of gossip and you have "Wings Over Honolulu," the fim which is showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day.
With Wendy Barrie, Ray Milland and Kent Taylor heading a fine cast, this New Universal picture presents a phase of Navy lite which has been left untouched by previous screenplays concerned with America's sea forces.
CANTON RAID SCARE
--
Reports Of Japanese Attack Untrue
Canton, Aug. 18. Great excitement and confusion prevailed in the city this morning, following receipt of news that Japanese planes from an aircraft carrier had been sighted off the coast, heading for Canton. Air raid sirens were sounded at 10.20. a.m., at which time all' Govern→
were making ment offices
pre- parations to evacuate.
Foreigners on Shameen believe that the reports may be a scare, but the Chinese population is in an intensive state of confusion. The British police on Shameen has been mobilised, restricting the in- flow of Chinese into Shameen...
Meanwhile, Chinese planes have gone up into the air and are circling at a height of 5,000 feet scouting for the "enemy" planes.
