This odd, discovery was made in filming a comic opera sequenes in the all-star, all-talking comedy, "Free and Easy," which will be shown shortly at the Queen's. An echo from a certain corner of the set, not in line with the sound, bothered the sound technicians. They put a test microphone on it, photographed a sound truck, and proved that the sound actually forced its way in. Expansive orchestra force behind heavy overtones, it was said, caused the phenomenon.

It is one of the most brilliant of the fifteen, interludes in "Paramount on Parade," much of which has been filmed in Technicolour. The setting shows a hill-top gallows, upon which, as a felon, King is about to die.
Frank Richardson's Career.
Frank Richardson, tenor, who' has an important comedy role- that of a "ham" song writer in "Sunny Side Up," is particularly well known in and near Philadephia, as most of his profes- sional work has been done there, his native city. competi
The writer concludes by saying that all classes in England discuss excitedly the measures that ought to be taken against the "cursed foreigners," but if one asks if England cannot herself do some thing, then all are pathetically united in declaring that the "de- cent" Englishman is really power- less against the dirty tion of foreigners, and the young- est one in the company will pro- bably remark, as H. G. Wells does in his latest book, "Why don't we make war against America for a change? Our gases are the best in the world."
