OUR GUIDE TO THE CINEMAS
"It's All Yours" (King's Theatre, to-day.)-Madeleine Carroll, the Eng- 19h actress, reveals an unexpected floir for sophisticated comedy in this picture, which is a light and enjoy- able one. Oliers In the cast are Francis Lederer and Mischa Auer, The latter almost "steals" the acting honours with his portrayal of the baron whose acknowledged pro- fession is marriage. PONY WITH MASK
"Kid Galalınd" (Queen's Theatre, I have no prejudice against Ali to-day).-A typical portrayal by Ed- Baba, but I cannot place much con- ward G. Robinson but

ari
Owing to the despatch of the 2nd. Bn. The Royal Welch Fusiliers and the 1st. Bn. The Royal Ulster Rißes to Shanghai, and the absence of ships of the China Flect from Hongkong. it has not been possible to hold the second annual dinner in 1937. It la hoped, however, that this function, the first of which was extremely popular, will take place during March, 1938.
Range Facilities
The plea made by the Council for week-end shooting, is receiving in- crensing consideration by the mill- ary authorities, and the Counell wishes to take this opportunity of placing on record its thanks, on be- half of the members of the Assocla- llon, to Ills Excellency the General M. Officer Commanding and Col. N. S. Irwin, D.5.0., M.C., (G.S.O.I.) for the allotment of the Army Ranges ut Kowloon City on one Sunday morning per month. The one Sun- day shoot, held by the Association during 1037, resulted in a crowded Aring-point and soundantly justified the Council's contention that what was required above all, was the grant of facilities for shooting at -week-ends~~There-iz-every-reason to hope that an extension of the pre- sent facilities will be granted to the Association in the near future.
Miniature-Rifo Section
This section of the Association came into being on October 5 1937, when at a Council Meeting held on that date, the offer of Mr. C. Watson, of the Dockyard Rifle Club, to act as Honorary Secretary of such see- tion was gratefully accepted. It was due entirely to his energles that Hongkong entered a team in the 1937 Inter-Colonial Small Bore Match, and it was with very real pleasure that the news was received that the team took ninth place. In the list of seventeen teams who had entered.
Since the above match was fired, Miniature Rifle League has been

Obituary
The Association has to deplore the loss of the following members dur- ing the year under review:
Lieut. (E) Arthur Claude Berlyn, RN., whose death at Singapore in the first month of the year under review, was so much regretted by the Council, the members of which body, it may be truly said, regarded this officer as one who was not only solely responsible for bringing mem- bers of the China Fleet in contact with the Association, but who never spared himself in the encouragement of rific-shooting, as a form of re- creation, amongst members of the Senior Service in Hongkong.
Mr. Goodman of the Dockyard Rifle Club, who died at sea on the way home during 1027.
