Tho Todd-AO cinema projection system is to come to Hongkong. The film selected is the Rodgers and Hammer- stein "South Pacific."
It will be shown at one cinema only, in Hongkong, which is at present in the course of erection,
The Todd-AO system is so complex that
it requires a projection box at the same level as the screen, and so In- tense is the light that the film has to be fed through a refrigerator.
Brigadier General Soukhavong Amkha, regional All these requirements can be met, and

'Salute To The Bulls' WOMAN
London, Sept. 3. The Daily Mirror took note today that Spanish bull- fighter recently had been Injured and gave a rousing salule to the bulls of Spain.
The newspaper presented its anti-matador views in an editorial. It also printed the editorial in Spanish "In case Spanish newspapers wish to copy."
"Salute to the Bulls of Spain,” the Mirror said. "They are fighting back at their formentors. In the last five weeks they have tossed, gored, dented or otherwise damaged 35 professional bullfighters.
"On one triumphant Sunday recently, the Spanish bulls bagged eight matadors..
"But even if the tortured bulls continue their successes, there is small hope of the supply of matadors running out. Who is to blame for the continuation of this barbarous sport?
"The Spanish crowds who shout for more thrills and The tourists many of them British — who flock to bullfights instead of shunning them.
