LON CHANEY IN WOMAN'S

PART.

"THE UNHOLY THREE."

Imitating a woman's voice is com- paratively easy, playing a woman on the screen is nevertheless a dif- ficult task, according to Lon Chaney, who performs this feat in "The Unholy Three," his first talking picture, which is showing in the Queen's Theatre.

As the sinister vertriloquist in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produc- tion he hides from the Police in the disguise of an old woman. "Tho hardest. thing is to learn how to walk like a woman and keep one's shoulders from swinging, and the

And

cultivation of the gestures mannerisma of the characters" says Chaney. He uses five voices in the new mystery thriflor, in which

Lala Lee. Elliot Nugent. Harry Earles, Ivan Linow, and Clarence Burton appear.

"THE VAGABOND KING."

Dennis King, who has been hailed the talking-singing screen's newest apostle of romanticism, is. above all, a gentleman.

While he was working on the production of "The Vagabond King" at Paramount's Hollywood studio, King was asked to tell his ideal of womankind.

"First of all," said the famous Broadway musical comedy singer, "She must be a blonde-that is, she must have a blonde personality, Many brunettes have it."

Nothing could have been more typically chivalrous of Dennis King than those words. Blondes and brunettes alike will find flattery in

them:

And it is well that King's opinion is so all-inclusive, for he is going to gain thousands of admirers among the blondes and brunettes before his great picture "The Vaga bond King" is many, weeks old. Women just seem to "go for" this dashing, romantic young lyric actor in a great big way.

In "The Vagabond King" Dennis

King has a blonde leading lady. She is Jeanette MacDonald, the dazzling charmer of Broadway musical comedy fame, who sang her way into the hearts of film en thusiasts everywhere with her splendid portrayal of the role of

Queen Louise in Maurice Chevalier's

"The Love Parade."

TAIKOO CLUB.

PLANS FOR ANNUAL

· BALL.

annual

Arrangements for this event at Quarry Bay are how well in hand. A willing band of work- ers, under the Chairmanship of Mr. D. B. Bone, are busy transforming the Club into a fairy, palace for the

evening of the 16th inst., although the splendid Hall of the Club needs

very little in the way of decoration to make it one of the finest halls i the Colony.

The Taikoo Ball has for many years been looked upon as one of the tit-bits of the festive season, the Club and its surroundings lond- ing themselves to a scene of galety and a feeling of solid enjoyment,

The dance programme contains the best of the Scottish dances, and a sufficient number of Waltz and Fox Trats that should tempt all dancers to get on the floor.

The President of the Club, Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, and Mrs. Shaw, are Ha Majesty the King has been taking a keen interest in the work graciously pleased to approve the of preparing for the Ball, and the following appointment in the Most Secretary assures us that the at- Excellent Order of the British Em-tendance will certainly prove the { pire:--
