AN aside made by Gracie Fields while she was entertain- ing troops in France is described as an unworthy jest by the viene of Eastbourne, Canon F. P. Hughes, in his parish magazine. The words were said when Gracie was singing "I never cried so much in all my life."
Canon Hughes sild: "Grace Fields is a person of extraordinary goodness and kindness as far as I know, but a number of people were distressed about that

Mr. Bert Aza, Gracie's manager, | kuld: *11 Gracle felt she had offend- ed one person in a million she would be very upset about it,"

Assembled at the British Consulate after their release from the Graf Spee, the Britons told a story of a gallant foe whose captain once said of his captures:

When you buy a motion picture projector, seek the best and most lastingly fine performance that your money will buy. Good performances in a few of the more obvious respects is not sufficient in itself. Permanent satisfaction can be given only by a projector which performs, and will continue to perform, superbly in every respect.
What are the performance requirements? Some will occur to you instantly. but perhaps nol So we present, for your guidance, this list of prime requirements, all of which we and a host of users believe are best met.by Filmo.

1. Uniformly Brilliant Pictures
ample illumination for your requirements; evenly distributed over the screen.
2. Flickerless Pictures
for flicker tires the eyes.
3. Steady Pictures...
because pictures which 'jump on the screen. cause eye-fatigue.
4. Sharply Focused Pictures
Beauty and detall are lost, and eyes are strained, unless pictures are sharp.
5. Uninterrupted Programs
Delays are annoying, poor showmanship. 6. Complete Film Protection
Probably most of your films could never be replaced.
7. Ease of operation 2.

8. Ease of Maintenance

9. Long Life
Filmo quality pays in dollars and in constant dependability.
