A grave announcement by the Home Commissioner Police directs the attention of the public to the growing dangers of London streets. In the period from January to April this year many more people were killed than in the corresponding months of last year. The increase is indeed startling. Whereas in 1922 only nine people were, in these months, killed by motor ommibuses, the record for this year shows twenty-three, i H The rate of increase for the first few months of 1923 is to be nantained. we shall, therefore, have a loss of nany baudreds of lives.

Mary Pickford's, admirers are sure to like" Pollyanna," her lates picture, which is showing at the Coronet, until Saturday. Mary' herself is as winsome as ever, the story is a pretty one, very simpy told, and the caste is of expecial excellence.
There is a happy spirit of optimism pervades the whole play. In fact, a lesson in philosophy can be learned by watching the experi- ences of "Pollyanna.” There are sone very natural scenes be-
tween of the Banque
