CLASSICAL MUSIC.
ROBERT AND ANATOLE KITAIN.
Lovers of really good music will he pleased to learn that a recital is to be given in the Star Theatre on Thursday, February 23, by the talented brothers, Robert and Anatole Kitain, violinist and pianist, who are visiting the Colony in the course of a tour of the world. These two young men are the
sons of the famous Petrograd professor, Michael Kitnin, who died in 1915, and both are graduates of the Petrograd Conservatory. Mr. Robert Kitain was for some time under the famous Professor Auer, and also under teachers with whom Heifetz identified himself in the earlier days of his musical career,
·Mr. Anatole Kitain was a pupil of Professor Blumeheld and has also stadied under the prominent Composer Rachmaninoff. On the death of their father, the young artists were placed, for further 1aition in their respective arts, under the care of the well-known composer A. Glazolo, and later, they begun their musical careers | in Petrograd and Mosrow, În 1925) they made their. last tour of Russia, giving almost 200 concerts, after which they spent some time Tin Siberia.
The artists are now touring the world, and after visiting Hong- kong and the Philippines, will pro- cerd to the United States and Europe.
QUEEN'S THEATRE.
"THE MAGIC FLAME” A BIG DRAW.
The current feature film of the "Queen's Theatre, "The Magie Flame," continues to give pleasure to all classes of cinesk
goers. Based on the big stage success, "King Harlequin," it is a produc- tion of oustanding merit, alike for the dramatic nature of the story, the excellence of the acting, the realism of the settings, and the skill of the directing. The leading players, Rouald Coinian and Vilmå |Banky, are both very popular in Hongkong, and the supporting cast is a cupable one. Altogether "The Magic Flamie" is a film that is a film that is thoroughly well worth seeing. It will be screened at the Queen's Theatre again to- day and to-morrow.
One London maitre d'hotel said: To-day women shake their heada
tion--all are declined because of a fear that they are "fattening."
They will not eat potatoes; they will not touch soup; they shudder at cream; they despise bread; they recoil from ail in all form; they ac- cept a morsel of meat with an air of making a concession.
A cher at the Trocadero Res- taurant said that most weinen no- wadays tolerated sugar merely as a sweetening agent. He added:

They generally shun rich pastries and streets in which jam of choco late or cream is used, and choose fruit. dishes instead. They more fresh frait, sucli as peaches and grapes, pineapple served with the juicy part of orange, and bana- nas with lemon juice.

IDEAS FOR THE WARDROBE.
Evening headdresses seem to be Kaining in popularity. One of dull gold lace was arranged with a wired coroneted effect in front, finished over each ear with a swinging piece of matching Ince, Black net, decorated with all sorta of fanciful diamante .embroider- vies with swathed white velvet and glittering paste designs. It is amusing to discover that. amongst young wearers, wreaths have returned to favour, but to show their superiority, to the old-fashioned designs, they are now made of china.
