The story concerns a contract. made in childhood, by which, two brothers promise to marry two sis- ters, and the efforts of one of the Young men to evade its terms. As the plot unrolls, Miss Raye, the ugly duckling of the family, turns into a beauty with a nation-wide reputation and the winner of a coast-to-coast legs contest, while her sister, Miss Grable. loses out on the field of love when she turns out to be a dunce in the kitchen.

MONEY FOR REFUGEES "Dr. Hoops said that not all the money sent from overseas Chinese actually went to war funds.
Dr. Lim Boon Keng pointed out Malaya's remittances were not for army purposes but to relleve the sufferings of the refugees.
"You will all understand that the sacrifices made by the Chinese in Malaya are for the reller of the suffering of the people outside the war," said Dr. Lim Boon Keng. "They are not for the fellet of the Chinese army at all. We have sent nothing to the Chinese Gov- ernment and it does not want'any. thing from Chinese abroad."
“ALGIERS” IS
OUTSTANDING
FILM PLAY
"Algiers," now at the King's Theatre, is the latest of a series of extraordinary films produced by Walter Wanger. whose monumental "Blockade" at lingers in the memory as an eloquent denunciation of war and its blank futility.
"Algiers" is a strangę but moving film, just as the Caspah, the native quarter, the atmosphere of which 1 has convincingly caught, exotic and often puzzling.
is
Charles Boyer, as Pepe le Moko, jewel thief, who plunges into the Caspah to escape apprehension but longs for the sights and sounds and pleasures of Paris, has a part which, considered in all its aspects. is not as easy to portray as may be imagined. and performs it with understanding. But it is to Joseph Calleia, as Inspector Slimane, that the real acting honours go. His is as suave and as perfect a per- been formance as any that has seen for a long time.
Sigrid Gurle and Hedy Lamarr, as. the Caspah girl and the Parl- slenne respectively, give signi Acarce to the story and lend colour to the production by their con- trasting beauty.-A.C.G.
"YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE”
Dramatic Interludes in the life
of a typical American family are highlighted in "You're Only Young
Once," which comes to the Majestic
Theatre to-day.
The new comedy offers Holly-
wood's conception of ad
ideal
family group. Lewis Stone is the
father, understanding and tolerant.
