THIS is good! This is infernally good!
This is one of those films which makes stern critics hug their col- leagues! This, in other words, is a thoroughly good show.
Liberty (America) gave it, four stars maximum award. Four stars are in it.
Don't ask me what happens.
All
I know is that Myrna Loy is in- tolerably beautiful with a dress of one shoulder, that Spencer. Tracy Is the best actor in Hollywood at this moment, that Willem Powell is funnier than ever, and that the man who wrote the dialogue for this picture is an unhallowed genlus,
I like the way Myrna Loy can speak volumes with her
eyes. That young woman is definitely not half-witted.
I thought William Powell's line, "Have you read any good books lately?" the most devastating plece of non sequitur that made nudience yelp with joy.
an
I thought the newspaper scerfes went with a rattle and a bang and an enthusiasm that was tremendous, I thought that every small part was played with a perfection and an hum- our which ought to be a revelation to British casting directora.
I thought that if anybody, could see this picture and not come away with a broad grin on his face, he wouldn't deserve the price of admis sion.
'So now you know what I thought.
New skates have double edge
new
Ice skates of radlen! design, having double-edged run- ners and a special pivot mount- ing, are said to reduce ankle strain
and permit high-speed turns without danger of slipping.
Made from a rectangular_strip. of steel, the runner is bent to form two gliding edges. The centre ridge a hinged on a pivot to a metal plate on the sole of the skating shoc,, to allow the foot, instead of the skate, to be tilled when making turns..

scason (wherein, I hear, Philharmonic cleared ex- penses by goodly margin) Hongkong is to see another highly successful Frederic Lonsdale play by same Com- pany.
Rehearsals will start in St. John's Hall on January 25 for "Street Singer", which this Page tipped before "Maid of the Mountains" as most likely successor to that excellent production.
Dates of presentation at Queen's Theatre have not yet been finally arranged, but they will be sometime in mid- April..
Similarly, no members of Philharmonic have yet been. assigned roles.

Rev. Cryil Brown, who has often confessed a weaicness for this play, will again produce. Mr. A. B. Yule, who departs for India by the troopship Lancashire next week, will be succeedert by well-known local musimaestro Lindsay A. Lafford, who has more
IF any of you feel that 1936 was a rather disappointing letters after his name than thers
year, you will be cheered to know that 1937 is likely to be one of the most interesting on record.
The films of 1937 will be specially notable for the variety and vitality of their story material and the exceptional number of stars individual productions will offer.
The wealth of entertainment planned is so great that it is dim- cult to know where to begin, but one of the happiest pieces of news I can give you to-day is that plaris have been completed for Norma Shearer to return to work.
Her next appearance will be with Clark Gable in Pride and Prejudice, and it is hoped that this will be followed_by_Marie Antoinette, with Charles Laugh-
ton.
.I feel sure all filmgoers will be delighted to know that Norma Shearer is to return to work as quickly as possible.
Then it is good to know that is 1937 we shall see a lot more of Spen-. per Tracy. There is no more genu- ine actor in films than he. The manner in which he has stood up to indifferent parts in indifferent pic- lures has been an example to all tem- peramentul stars.
He is now to be seen with Lionci Barrymore and Freddie Bartholomew in Captains Courageous; with Wil liam Powell in Arsene Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes; with Franchot Tone in They Gave llim. Gun, and.
1 with Jean Harlow, Wallace
and Beery James Stewart in The Foundry.
TO see Spencer Tracy and William Pawell pitted against each other, as they will be in "Arsene Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes," will be a pleasure. Another partnership to which I look forward will be that of Wil-
