RICHEST GIRL IN THE WORLD"

—-KINGS THEATRE

Miriam Hopkins is one of the most versatile of the younger school of stars. Those who remember hor in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and then recall her performance with Bing Crosby in "She Loves Me Not" will realise Just how versatile she can be.

In "The Richest Girl in the World," the present attraction at the King's Theatre, she has her most difficult role-and comes out with all flags flying.

It is difficult to believe that any girl would go to the extremes Misp Hopkins does in her portrayal of the

Nearest Thing To A New Play

og Ely Culbertson

I am one of those who are of the] opinion that there is no such thing as a brand new type of play. The game we play to-day started many Was years ago with whist and gradually evolved through the bridge whist and auction stages. The play of the hand in all that time has been very much the same, and years of experience have cover- ed almost every possible situation, so that, technically speaking, every type of offensive and defensive play can be and has been catalogued.

However, the hand which I am showing to-day involves the closest thing to a new defensive play that I have ever seen.

On the 6th May, next the British Empire is giving thanks and praise that for 25 Fears His Majesty King George V has been preserved to bear the sceptre of sever eignty and maintain the unity

of the Empire, His Majesty's great interest in all forms of charity is universally recog nised and it is known that His Majesty desires this auspicious occasion to bo, in some manner dedicated to assisting charit able objects.
