Modern youth is once again defend ed, this time with a tenderness and understanding new to the screen, in the romantic Fox Movietone drama, The Dancers," directed by Chandler Sprague and featuring Lois Maran, which opened to delighted audiences at the King's Theatro last Sunday. The Dancers" is the screen version of the noted play of the same name by Sir Gerald Du Maurier and Viola Tree,
Lola Moran in particularly appending as the disillusioned girl brave enough ight her own battles after she had broken faith with the, buy she loved. Philips Holmes portrays the role of her sentimental sweetheart, bringing a sincerity and honesty to his characterization of "Tony" that makes the ileult role logical and ef-, fectiva. The work of these two in "The Dancers" must be accorded high praise, ranking with the best of their previous work.
Walter Byron, who will be rémem. bered for his work in."Not. Damaged": pposite Miss Moran, is again seen Moe as her lover in "The Dancers." Clarke, as "Muxing," the might club dancer, is the "ather girl" with whom Loishus to struggle to win "Tony's love.
The dramatic climax of the drama comes when Lois, thinking her wrong. is unforgiveable, makes a decision as fine and brave a true love could imagine; she offers her hanyemoon to the other girl! Others who do worth while work are Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the distinguished English star, and Tyrrell Davis.

In order that the flooding could be successively done, the cellars had to be actually built underground, in the base of a large hill on the Universal ranch.

When the Ave tiers of the cellars wore excavated they had to be roinforced with steel and concrete and completely wired for electric lighting. For the food scenes, the ten tanks were arranged in a circle about half way up the hill, above the level for ten the excavations, directly over specially built tunnels-loading into the collara. The tanks were constructed so that at a signal, traps in the bot toms were released, and woven million gallons of water rushed with terrifie farre into the excavations. A whole

Anew "Colorcrete"-which possesses the advantage of n The two permanent and standardised colour. colours available at the moment are buff and red. Concrete made with "Colorcrete" is not only much more beautiful than ordinary concrete but it has the strength and hardens just as rapidly as concrete made with "Ferrocrete," the rapid-hardening Portland cement. It gives in 4 days the strength of concrete .made with ordinary Portland cement in 28 days.
"Colorcrete" is of considerable value for all concrete constructional work where permanent colour would be an advantage. It gives a concrete which harmonises perfectly with the natural sur- roundings, and which reduces glare due to the re- Nected rays of the sun.

Pavillons, handstands, shelters and promenades; factories, bridges, municipal houses, carriageways and paths can all be beautified at very little extra cost by the use of this rapid-harden. ing coloured Portland cement-"Colorcrete."
