While he was working on the pro duelion of "The Vagabond King at Paramount's Hollywood studio, King was asked to tell his Ident of woman- kind.

Nothing could have been maro typically chivalrous of Dennis King than thore worde. Blondes and brunettes alike will find Battery in them.
Play in the hockey match at Shanghai between the Hongkong Army team and Shanghal was much better and faster than in the Army's first game against the Worcesters, and the match was great contrast to the previous scrappy tussle. There were a few changes in the Hongkong team, Monkton occupying the centre forward berth in place of Skipp, who was injured in Friday's game, and Hay played at right-half, while Burrs took his position of right back.
