If I went by the material handed to me by the film représentatives I would be telling the Hong Kong public every Friday that "Every picture was "The finest thia artiste has ever done," etc. The Press agent matter paints all pictures and actors work in the most glowing colours; there is no such word as criticism. I'depend mostly on my own judgment, and when I wrote the lines about which you and you! Mr. Proulx complains without, he states, having seen the film was paying a compliment to Mr. Robert Montgomery. I realise his Himits and his capabilities and I was cer tain that the most natural actor on the screen could never be anything but charming, natural, debonair, and any other adjectives of which you can think.

We ask you to think to-day, not so much of life's purpose as that which goes to make life interest- ing, and that which goes to make life worth living. And we do so, because there are so many views as to the purpose of life — views so, conflicting and so difficult to reconcile that a consideration of them tends to leave one in a nebulous frame of mind, where- as we shall be dealing with something concrete when We think about the things which make life interesting and worth living.

What makes life interesting? What makes life worth living? Many things.
