While prepara- Lions for the production of the story were in progress it was de ⚫cided that only players with a fer- tile background of stage training be chosen. For this purpose the director journeyed to New York, where he "discovered," for the films, two of Gotham's most pro- mising young stars, Lola Lane and Paul Page. These two players were cast at once in leading roles for "Speakeasy," and likewise placed under a long-term contract by Fox Movietone executiven. Page portrays the character of Paul Martin, college-bred fir champion, who is saved from the clutches of an unscrupulous band of gangsters through the effort of a newspaper girl, Alice Woods, played by Lola Lane.

There were large attendances at the Queen's Theatre yesterday for the showing of the technicolour film, "The Viking," which is be ing screened again to-day, Ow- ing to demands from elsewhere, the film can only be shown for these two days at present, but it will return to Hongkong for fur- ther screenings shortly.
As its title implies, the Alm deals with the adventures of Norso seamen in the olden days. and an interesting story, in which there are plenty of thrills and ample romance, is provided. The whole film is coloured, and in this regard It is a triumph for the producers. There are some beau- tiful settings, and, with sound synchronisation and special.mual-| cal score, the film can be describ- ed as most attractive and appeal- ing. Pauline Starke, LeRoy Me kon and Donald Crisp have the leading roles, and all are good,
In addition, there is a Fox Movietone news reel as well na some effective harmony by the Kentucky Jubilee Singers.
