Seotland Yard has agreed to, co- operato closely with the railway. police in a drive to stamp out ganga of cardsharpers suburban trains.

Cardsharpers who work the trains have doubled in numbers since the war. 2.

Most of them are known to the railway police officials, and they even nod insolently to these police when they meet them on railway promiacs Action is difficult, bow- ever, unless víctima miake a com plaint immediately.

Three cardsharpers were sent to prison with hard labour last month' at a North London police court. They were convicted of offences on A London and North-Eastern Rail- way train' between Liverpool Street [and Clapton."

The public can help us more than they do to clear the trains of these pests," said Chief Inspector A. E. Earle, of the London and North-Eastern Railway police to a Press representative.

I wish travellers who have been approached would come forward to: Assist in prosecutions. There have been cardsharpers ever since trains began to run, but not in such num- bers as they are to-day.

It is surprising that people still fall for the time-worn three-card trick.

"A person who seems to be a stranger to London is usually mark- ed down in the railway station by the gangsters, who enter his com- partment one by one, pretending to be strangers to each other.

"If the pigeon makes a scene when he finds himself cheated he often gets his money returned, but usually he is too frightened.

"Loudon cardsharpers nowadays are working in families. It is not nacommon to find a father and son

working the trains together.”

NAVY BLUES."

William Haines, who learned Tootball, baseball, golf, polo and the art of military drilling for gereen roles, declares he was up against the hardest lesson of all during the making of "Navy Bluca" his first all-talking vehicle, which will be shown on Sunday at the Queen's Theatre. This Inst job was nothing less than learning to dance alle hornpipe.

It took six times as much work as polo," complained the Motro- Goldwyn-Mayer star. The hornpipe was necessary for a sequence an board U.S. warship on which a large share of the picture was made.

People who wonder how sailors behave both aboard ship and on shora will be given an insight in "Navy Blues"

Assisting William Haines are Anita Page, Karl Dane and J. C. Nugent."
