FUTURE FICTURES. - From Thursday until Saturday next the chief picture will be "The Wizard of Oz" with Harry Simon in the character of the "Wiz." This is a fantastic fairy tale in the course of which a mean old farmer and his niece, who is the heroine, are transported to the magic land of Oz where they meet with all manner of queer and highly diverting adventures.

On Sunday that favourite screen actress MacMurray appears as the star performer in Mademoiselle Midnight." Among other films booked by the Queen's which will be shown shortly, are "A Boy of Flanders," in which Jackie Coogan takes "He who gets the principal part; Slapped" with Lon Chaney as the chief character; Quo Vadis" and Cecil B. de Milne's The Ten Commandments,"

OPERATIC SOPRANO AT KOWLOON..

There was an excellent programme at the Star Theatre, Kowloon, during the week-end In addition to a first-rate picture programme on Saturday and Sun- day evening, there was an additional attraction in Madame Rostova, an opeṛu- tio, soprano, who was warmly encored for her contribution of three or four items.

Madame Rostova was previously con- Rected with Carpi's Italian Opera Company, and is now on her way home..

To-night the picture programme will be again changed, the new feature being the appearance of Matt Moore and Madge Bellamy in "No More Women." This picture, which is highly sorusing, con- tinues until to-morrow (Wednesday).

SILVER IN 1925. CHINESE PURCHASES THE CHIEF SUPPORTING INFLUENCE. During 1925 the Silver Market was quicter than in recent years, and prices fluctuated within unusually narrow limits. The range for "the year was old, the highest price being 33 7-16d. and the lowest 31 1-16d. The price has not moved within so narrow a range since 1909. This was one of the chief characteristics of the year, according to Messrs Mocatta and Goldsmid, whose usual annual bul- lion circular points out that the remark- able steadiness in the price curtailed speculative business. As a whole, how- ever, the market, they state, was by no means inactive, and very large purchases. were made both by Indian and China. Shipments from London to the East were considerably more than in 1924, and apart from this, large shipments were arranged for direct shipment to India from New York and to China from San Francisco. On the other hand, Continental purchases were on a much smaller scale, and there were practically no sales by the British Government in the open market. The chiel supporting influence came from Chinese purchases. From Jane onwards these frequently assumed considerable volume, and they are attributed to the serious riots in Shanghai and the dis- turbances in other parts of China. The derhand for the arts was rather larger than in 1924 and the cinematograph and photographic industries again absorbed large quantities of the metal. While imports for the year amounted to £10,452,500, exports
