Cross-Examined

Far from the Lido Dance Hall losing business after the publica- tion of an article in the Hongkong Tiger Standard on August 13, 1951, its sales of tickets increased in the same week, Mr D. A. L. Wright, Counsel for the newspaper, claimed at the hearing of the Lido's libel suit in the Supreme Court this morning.

shown below, The dance-hall manager, Mr Li Shun-man, cross-examined by Mr. Wright, maintained that he had lost nearly all of his Chinese customers. One or two would look in at intervals of a month or ten days and would walk out again, he said.,

Mr Wright suggested that perhaps the reason for this was that many of the attractive girls of the Lido left their employment at that time..
