AWE-INSPIRING GLI MPSE INTO THE FUTURE IN GREAT WELLS FILM

HIGH SENSE
OF DRAMA
BIGGEST SCREEN
SPECTACLE
YET SEEN.
"Telegraph" Film Correspondent "THINGS TO COME." King's Theatre, this week
Tremendous, awe-inspiring, challeng- ingly imaginative and technically magni- ficent-but, viewed in the light of sheer entertainment, far too prolix in its argu- mentative vision of the future.
This is a fair estimate, I think, of the wonderful interpretation of Mr. H. G. Wells's solemnly speculative story, written by himself direct for the screen, "Things To Come."
Acting, trick photography, scenic lavishness of the most resourceful and suggestive kind, and music rising and falling in rhythm that is clamant or delicate as the circumstances demand, are combined in a spectacle that in some respects is beyond anything the screen has sèen. THE WAR OF 1940
Mr. Wells places the beginning of the war that is to devastate humanity as carly as the year 1940. He makes the warning come at Christmas time.
The scurrying populace of Everytown is intent on its seasonal preparations, and the sudden contrast

That the war has actually opened from the air with- out warning is conveyed with a high sense of drama.
It is deafening and almost stun- ning, with a jumble of scenes of terror and awfulness that has been icontrived wonderfully to convey the of overwhelming and in- sense escapable destruction.

Under this Ordinance it is not necessary to bring a suspect before a Police Court.
Suspects can be kept in custody, on ball, for an In- or released determinable period, merely by the procuration of a Warrant, which authorises detention for 14 days, which may be extended from time to time for periods of seven days. Deportation Orders are not made by Courts, but by the Governor in Council.
The Governor in Council may summarily issue a deportallon order against any person whom he finds
to be an allen if
(a) the person has been deported or banished from any part of the British Empire;
(b) the person has been convicted in the Colony of any offence;
· or
(c) the Governor In Council deems such deportation to be conducive to the public good. Deportation orders in the present instance will presumably be made under the heading (c).
