TWO-FACED PHOTOGRAPHY
UNMASKS THE FAMOUS
Phronologists have been putting two and two together. At the Kingsway Hall recently the Phrenological Society showed lantern slide pictures of the illustrious---

Explanation of this experiment, given by Mr. E. W. Cousins, the Society's president, is that "the left side of the face revenis the conscious and the right side the unconscious content of the mind."
Heads and faces, Mr. Cousins de- clared, were just as accurate guides to identity as finger-prints. Phreno- logists had examined millions of heads and never found two alike.

Chinese Opium Gang In London Ship
Mr. Stanley Thompson, manager of the Silver Line, of Bishopsgate, London, told recently how a gang of Chinese smugglers who hid eleven sacks, the Silveryow, entering New York, may cost the company a fine of £29,000.
The U.S. Treasury depart- ment have levied a line of 145,- 000 dollars ($29,000) against the owners of the vessel follow. ing the seizure of the opium by Customs men. Six Chinese members of the crew are being Chinese the questioned, and
boatswain, Tain Ho, has been detained on a charge of smug- gling.
The captain of the ship, Captain William Irvine, of Sunderland, the first mate, and the chief engineer were questioned by Customs officials, but later released.

Priestly Flays Theatre Snobs
BIG IS ONE OF THE PROVINCIAL SNOBBERY OBSTACLES TO THE REVIVAL OF THE THEATRE IN BRITAIN. THIS IS THE OPINION OF MR. J. B. PRIESTLEY, WHO WITH TWO PLAYS NOW RUNNING IN LONDON AND OTHERS BEING ACTED ABROAD IS MAKING THIS A "PRIESTLEY SEASON."
"The time is ripe now for creating a new interest in the theatre," he said.
