Chinese Film Actress Wins Court Action

A young Chinese movie actress, Chu Ying, won her claim against the Hsin Wah Motion Picture Co., for back salary amounting to $14,100. Delivering his judgment in the Supreme Court this morning, Mr Justice J. R. Gregg, dismissed the studio's counter-claim for $30,000 damages alleged to have been caused by Chu Ying's absence from work.

The Judge remarked that the defendants were expecting too much to ak the Court to believe on such flimsy evidence that the actress-who struck him as intelligent-would cancel all that salary owing her and agree to work again for the same amount merely for the sake of publicity, as claimed by the defence.

The Judge awarded the
