OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS.

The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

Much of importance has occurred in Hong Kong this week so that, as a natural consequence, the “Overland China Mail" comes out once more full of good reading matter.

H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi) has returned to the Colony. An unusually large quota of new legisla- ture on topics of interest to Hong Kong and elsewhere has been brought up in Council. Many social and sports events have taken place. There have been fatal disasters in the Fighting Services. In fact, many more Items could be picked at random; but justice to the publication can only be done by perusing the "Overland," which is the only weekly news budget in Hong Kong with pictures.

China has again been in the forefront, what with the protracted trouble with Russia and the outbreak of internal war in more provinces than one. What is happening is both recorded and explained for the benefit of the foreigner, who often finds difficulty in comprehending Chinese affairs. The matter in the "Overland" is written specially so that non- Chinese can understand.

Be certain to send a copy to your folks and friends at Home. It will be highly appreciated.

LAWRENCE TIBBETT

[By Dorothy Herzog.)

Hollywood, Calif., September 16. I've been traipsing around the Metro lot most of the day. Tried to get away from the Lawrence Tib. bett set but just kept being mag- netized back there. He was singin'. The extras were ancaking over from other aeta to hear him. Ten dollars in New York, nothing in Hollywood if you're a favourite with the gate- man. What a hand they gave him, and they seldom give hands in this: city. I tell you that set has crept up to second place in popularity. Next to Marion Davies'.

Then Fox called him back! They'd heard about that telephone business.

"Much water has flowed under my bridge since I last talked with you, gentlemen."

"We'll make it flow faster" or similar words.

So when he's through with the pictures he'd already contracted, he'll put his box under his arm and go back to papa at more than he originally demanded!

MUSICAL CULTURE

Hollywood isn't as professionally narrow as it was. We're beginning to get educated to opera singers, musicians, song writers and stage folk. Time was-and that not so long ago when the flicker debu tante from another sphere of ac- tivity was a complete stranger. When Joseph Cawthorne, a Broad- way favourite of many a decade, Arat came to the filmopolis, he had to spell his name for those whose job it was to know it. The late stage atar, William H. Crane, fared even worse. He was always being confused with Ward Crane. He was even asked by a harassed cast- ing director if he had had any act- ing experience. Which burned up Mr. Crane sufficiently to necessitate a rushed dose of hicarbonate of soda.
