"A Yank at Oxford," now play- ing at the King's Theatre, the first of the M-G-M British-made productions, presents Robert Tay. for in his most thoroughly satisfy- ing role to date.
A he-man, athletic characteriza- tion on the part of Tayler, round- ed and convincing performances by Lionel Barrymore and Maureen O'Sullivan and fine contributions by a group of outstanding British players, make the film memorable. Particularly to be noted are
GENERAL
Mosquito More Dangerous Than The Tiger
"The mosquito is more dangerous than the tirer!" An apparent paradox and yet a profound truth!
Those who have an intimate knowledge of the tropics will he quite ready to endorse this. Governments in tropical countries' are also fully aware of this truth and strive by speech and the printed word to impress upon the inhabitants the necessity of defending. themselves against mosquitos.
Thus, in Siam, for example, a leaflet is distributed depicting a tiger and a malaria-carrying mosquito, with the remark: "Mosquitos are millions of times more dangerous than tigers." In Slam. tigers devour 50 people each year and mosquitos kill 50,000.

ADVENTUROUSTM FRANCE
Special Stamp To Commemorate Royal Visit
The gay and successful freedom With which other countries add now issues to their postage stamps is illustrated by the announcement that there is to be a special stamp In France to commemorate the visit of our King and Queen to Paris this month.
With the exception of such affairs as an international postal conference in London or an Em. pire Exhibition at Wembley, it needs a new reign in order to extract a new stamp from the cautious authorities of Britain,
Even then it takes months to produce and there are questions in Parliament and reports of con- sultations with wise men and learned societies; and then, as often as not, the ultimate result ta heartily condemned by quite a number of experts who ought to know something about design and printing.
But in France a royal visit from the Sovereign of another country is suficient excuse, and no doubt the new stamp" will emerge without delay and be received without pro- test:
Why our procedure should be so cumbrous and controversial is one of fe's later mysteries. Granted that one side of a postage stamp is nothing if it is not adhesive; but why should the "stickiness" (in Britain) extend to the whole sub- ject of new issues and varied de- signs?
