LOVE FROM A STRANGER
If it is thrills and excitement you are seeking then go along and see Ann Harding and Basil Rath- bone in ." Love
from 1 Stran- ger" which is showing to-day at the King's Theatre.
Make no mistake. This is not -just-a-horrific-im-but an in- tensely interesting, brilliantly acted study of the macabre. The film is a grim pyschio-analytical drama of a murderer, and was adapted by Frances Marton, Hollywood's high- est paid scenarist. from the suc- cessful play by Frank Vosper, which in turn, was based upon an Agatha Christle, short story.
GIRLS CAN PLAY
Nothing escapes Hollywood. Now it's America's newest sports craze, girls' "softball games, that provides the background for a picture, and a swell picture at that. "Girls Can Play," the Columbia production which opened yesterday at the Majestic Theatre, is" snappy, thril-" ling, and comical, and fills the screen with enough beautiful girls to make a couple of musicals.
Jacqueline Wells and Charles Quigley, the leading players, ac quit themselves admirably. Both of these up-and-coming stars "do full justice to their roles. As for the supporting cast, it is unusually good. with Rita Hayworth, John Gallaudet, George McKay, Gene Morgan, Patricia Farr and Guinn Williams standing out.

in all Colonel J. L.

In an attempt to prevent 2 typhus epidemic. In Shanghai, a group of Chinese doctors of the Shanghai United Edipemology Committee are launching a clean- liness drive in order to de-louse the refugees in the camps in the Settlement and International

With the advent of cold weather, the most serious problém `among the refugees is the prevention of

Some 50 per cent of the inmates of refugee camps are Hee-infested. Failure to deloúse these, people will seriously menace the health of local residents.
In order to keep the refugees clean during the winter months. the Committee is planning to set up bathing facilities for теп. women and children in all refugee camps, but financial assistance is urgently required in this project.
