Visitors to London from abroad are admitted every day to the be- autiful gardeas of the Royal Botanic Society, which cover an area of 19 acres in the middle of Regent's Park, on payment of one shilling. Admission otherwise is by an order from a Fellow of the Royal Botanic Society, or on Mon- days and Thursdays by payment. of one shilling. These gardens were laid out in English natural style by Robert Martock 100 years ago. They are regarded as a most per- fect example of Marnock's lands- cape art.

JUNE 6, 1930.

THE SILVER SCREEN.

FILM FASHIONS.

New blacks and fat colours are again coming into their own in the modes, even though the more vivid bucs are still extremely popular,

The difference seems to be that the more vivid things are for sport wear, while for street wear the more conservative colourings, are still greatly in demand.......

So says Joan Crawford, Metro. Goldwyn-Mayer's latest star of the screen. Miss Crawford, who makes her debut as a full-fledged star in Our Modern Maidens. an epic of the jazz age, which is now play ing at the Queen's Theatre, as a sound-synchronized production, has a particularly interesting example of this rule.

Though in secues where she wore sport clothes Joseph's coat of many colours was, by comparison, a drab sack, for her street costumes she weat into the more subdued modes.

For instance, she wore a smart street frock of black fat crepe. It was a two-piece model wish hip- length blouse and plented skirt, trimmed with frepc-coloured collars and cuffs.

These garments make the sport mode much more effective by con- trast, she believes.

Miss Crawford's new picture is a vivid story of modernity, written by Josephine Lovett, author of another of her greatest hits, "Our Dancing Daughters. Rod La Rocque, Dou- glas Fairbanks, Jr., Anita Page, Eddie Nugent, Josephine Dunn, Albert Grin, and others of aute are in the east. Jack Conway directed the new picture. Gorgeous modernistic settings are among the lavish details of the spectacular 4ew drama.

い MAJESTIC.

Colleen Moore has a new type, of rcle and a new, fascinating person- alty in her latest starring picture "Twinkletoes" which is showing at the Majestic Theatre, Kowloon, to-day. Colleen is minus her Dutch bob, with a mass of golden curls instead against the background of London's Limehouse.

On either side of a broad walk COLLEEN SPARKLES AT THE leading from the Main Gate to the great conservatory are undulating lawns with specimen trees, shrub- beries and flower borders. To the right is a high tree-covered mound topped by a ruined tower; below it lies a winding lily-covered lake with rustic bridges and an island rock garden. To the north of this is the herbaceous garden devoted to students of botany and phar- macy, and beyond it the vegetable and fruit garden of the Society's School of Practical Gardening. Or the left of the broad walk is the Rose Garden, Museum of Econo mic botany, and children's play. ground.

The Conservatory contains many large palms, a collection of succul enta, rockery with a thousand-year old Cyead (Encephalartos), and specimens of the Tortoise tree (Testudinaria,) the largest and oldest in the country. Behind are smaller greenhouses devoted to the Giant Water-llly (Victoria regia), and tropical food plants; stove and greenhouse plants, orchids and cool ferns have each a special house.

A café and dining rooms will be found in the gardens.

"NANYANG BROS. DISPUTE.

MEDIATORS POUR OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS.

The trouble among the workers in the local factory of the Nan- yang Brothers' Tobacco Company, caused by the dismissal of 22 of their fellow-workers, has come to an end.

The men have now a better under- standing of the position in conse quence of mediation by Mr. Chan Lim Pak, Superintendent of the Company, who clearly explained to them the necessity of reducing "the number of workers due to business depression. The latter have now withdrawn their demands.

A statement made by a staff member of the Nanyang Workers' Club corroborates the report of the settlement.

from Thomas Burke's famous book, The story, which was adapted

was directed by Charles Brahin. It deals with the love of the little Leroine, Twink Minasi, and Chuck, a pugilista delicate bit of sweetness and ideal romance in the midst of sinister London slums.

Twinkletoes" is seeking to emulate the fame of her "dead mother as a dancer, and her strug- gle is bringing the forces of Lime- bouse in a sombre 'cland about her. To aid her father--whom she be lieves perfect-adds burglary to his profession of sign-painting. Twink's love affair brings upon her head the jealousy and hate of a dangerous Linehouse woman, while her inno- cent sweetness attracts Roseleaf the cherus master and theatre manager. How the various forces clash" zod which one wins is interestingly un folded. The picture is interspersed with comedy as well as tense sus pense and drama;
