nd the film has been made with all the salient features of the writer. Two sets of criminals, each Labouring under the mistaken im- pression that the other is honest organisation, provide all the humour for the film and they provide it well.

"The More We Are Together-," Speaking as President of the Club, Mr. Lindsell took the opportunity of welcoming all who had attended. The weather hnd .not turn- ed out quite as kindly as they had hoped. After last Monday's rain, they rather expected a little sun, but it was not to be. However, despita this handicap, they, could congratulate themselves upon a very successful twenty-second birthday party. (Ap- plause). Their hearty thanks were due mainly to Mr. Lammert and his willing band of workers, and also to the generous contributors to the sport fund, whether members, non- members. Finally, he wished to thank all for turning up in such large numbers and for bringing their children with them. He wished to emphasise the fact that this was not a Kowloon children's party, but a party for all the children of the Colony and the more we are to gether, the happier we will, be," hoped that all the boys and girls had enjoyed themselves and would turn up again next year and bring their friends with them. (Applause).
