"BEN-HUR."
FINAL SCREENING OF BIG
FILM.
"Ben-Hur," the £000,000 film which will be screened at the Queen's Theatre for the last time to-day after a record run, owes its popular success not only to the grandeur of its spectacle and the absorbing nature of its action but. likewise to the love story of Ben- Kur and Eather and the other love motif between mother and son which is brought powerfully to the fore through the many years of 60paration of Ben-Hur and his parent by the. Romans who con- demned him to the galleys and his womenfolk to a forgotten dungeon,
This vivid picture shows us Ben- Hur's escape-the triumphant chariot race, his romance with Esther, and his return to Judaea, fired by the hope of the Messianic kingdom. The outenst mother and afster find the young hero asleep, but in a scene of infinite pathos turn away so as not to contaminate him. Their reunion with the loved one after they have been healed .by the Saviour, is perhaps the most exquisite passage in film fic- tlou.

CREDITOR'S CONDUCT
CRITICISED.
CENSURE ON MR. J. M. XAVIER.
"You have behaved disgraceful- ly in trying to go behind the backs of the other creditors and get special terms for yourself after having agreed to a decision on the lines proposed." said the Lord Chief Justice at the Bankruptcy Court on Saturday, to Mr. J. M. Xavior, one of the creditors' of Dr. T. P. Woo, who was publicly examined. Sir Honry Gollan also said that it was not legal black- mall but conduct of the most re- prehensible and most improper Mr. character. Later, seeing Xavier's attempt to converse with a Pressman, His Lordship said, "It is no use you trying to "square" the Press, Mr. Xavier, although I can quite understand your feel- ings of anxiety about what I have sald and what has been disclosed by the Official Receiver receiving publicity."
When Dr. Woo's name was called, the Official Receiver said before proceeding with the publle facts which he wished to bring examination there were certain
