ANOTHER DAWN

from

Three top-ranking stars the Warner Bros. studios appear in the romantic advanture. Alm which is showing at the Queen's Alhambra and Star Theatres to- day Kay Francis, Errol Flyrin and Ian Hunter.

"Another Dawn" is the picture -and the story is about a small British garrison in wild and plc- turesquqe Iraq (Arabia)..

Flynn and Hunter both both love Miss Francis. One or the other has to sacrifice his life-and leave Kay to the survivor-in order that the garrison might not fall prey to the blood-thirsty

Arabs who surround it.

One of them does. How they decide which one it shall be-how the hero goes forth to glory-and how the remaining one, fares with the girl-all these things make up what is said to be of 1937's tensest and most gripping stories.

Besides the member of the triangle, "Another Dawn" has such players as Frieda Inescort, Herbert Mundin, G. P. Huntley, Huntley, Jr., Mary Forbes and Elly Malyon.

STAR IS BORN

All the thrills of a trip to Holly wood were provided local dlm fans last night at the Majestic Theatre in "A Star Is Born," David O. Selznick's glorious technicolor pro- duction starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March.

For this first really modern story so vividly told, so convincingly to come to the screen in colour is

played and so brillantly directed by William A Wellman that you leave the theatre feeling as If you'd actually paid a visit to film- land.

Janet Gaynor and Fredric March have written-to-order roles, and have never turned in performances to match these.

Janet emerges a lovely, new so- phisticated personality with a rare flair for wearing clothes as Esther Blodgett, the little country girl, who comes to Hollywood in search of stardom, faces the 100,- 000 to one odds as an extra, and spars overnight to fame.

INTERNATIONAL

THROUGH SETTLEMENT

MEMORANDUM TO HEAD OF POLICE FORCE

Shanghai, Dec. 4.

The right of Japanese troops to enter any part of the International Settlement without previous noti- fication, is reserved in a · four- point memorandum, which Was presented to the Commissioner of Police, Major F. W. Gerrard, by Col. Kusumoto, representing "Generul Matsul, the Japanese commander- In-chief." following the parade in- cident.

The other points are:- Firstly, the Shanghai Municipal Police shall take steps to prevent recurrence of incidents such as the bomb throwing during yesterday's Japanese parade.

Secondly, if the Japanese army regards these steps as inadequate, it reserves the right to take all necessary measures to preserve peace in the Settlement, and.

effect that he had read and un- derstood the document and would bring it to the notice of the Coun- cil.

JAPANESE WARNED Major Gerrard also emphasised that he could make no agreement in regard to passage of Japanese troops through the Settlement.

The Shanghai Municipal Coun- cll also desires it to be known that the Council's representatives had, previous to the parade, emphasised to the Japanese authorities the inadvisability thereof at the pre- sent time.

The Shanghai Municipal Coun cil has made a full report to the Senior Consul on yesterday's oc- currence.

NO AGREEMENT

In order that there may be no misunderstanding, says an oficial statement, the Shanghal Municipal Council desires it to be known that no agreement was entered into last night after the bomb throwing in- cident, between the Commissioner of Police, Major F. W. Gerrard, and Col Kusumoto.

A document was drawn up by Japanese officers, setting out the points made by Col. Kusumoto in the conversation he had with Gerrard before the withdrawal of the Japanese troops from Nanking Road.

Major Gerrard emphasised that he had no authority to enter into any agreement, and in order to make clear that the document in question did not purport to be an agreement. he endorsed it to the

UNEVENTFUL "JOURNEY

Canton, Dec. 5. Mr. R. G. Howe and party crossed the loopline from the Canton Hankow Railway to the Canton- Kowloon line shortly before 8 m. after an eventless two-day journey from Hankow, and have already passed Shekpal, the first station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway, but the

air-raid alarm sounded throughout Canton at 8 a.m. and according to Chinese reports which have not yet been confirmed, nine Japanese planes are at present dying over the Kowloon-Canton tine. In the event of this line be- ing bombed it is understood that arrangements will be made to send the party to Hong Kong by a gun-

YET MORE

ALLEGATIONS

Tokyo, Dec. 4. The Japanese press bitterly as- Balls the alleged use of Hong Kong as a Chinese base for im- portation of arms and dissemina- tion of propaganda..

The "Asahi Shimbun" says: "There is little doubt that Jap- anese control" of the Shanghai area has brought security to the life and property of foreign res- dents, given China the chance to realise the failure of her anti- Japanese polley, and Britain the opportunity to change her attitude towards Japan.

"It cannot be denied that as a result of utilisation of Hong Kong, for military purposes. China has abandoned the desire to save the situation
