J. Harold Murray, who playa. the leading role of "Charlie. Jackson," the Yankee sen captain, who runs foul of the French authorities, when

he attempts to run a load of guns to the robellious' Araba, gives the best portrayal of his screen career and sings with a gusto and fervour typical of his role.

Fifi Dorsay isas charming as ever as "Lili La Flour" the music hall song and dance artist who saves Murray from a disgraceful death, showing him that there are many things to make life worth- while living.

George Grossmith is another, member of the cast who deserves a lot of credit. In addition, to giving as remarkable performance, he authored the story with Zolton Korda, Other members of the cast who handle their parts well are Clyde Cook, Rose Dione and Ralph

Mr. Justico Lindsell, the Presi- dont of the Club, was in the chair, while Mr. Labrum acted as a more or less unofficial y master · of⋅ ceremonies Advance notices of the affair described it as a "convivial. evening," and this it turned out to, be. Members were also requested to bring their own music, which in- struction they complied with right merrily.

An excellent, dinner proved a fitting prelude to the road. business of the evening, which opened to the atrains of the piano and an old time melody. The President then- made the presentation to Mr. Brace which took the form of a silver tea set and a case of pipes"

In the course of his speech' Mr. Lindsell eulogised the merits of Mr. Brace, both as a cricketer and a sportsman, describing him as "the Jack Hobbs of Hong Kong cricket. "Mr. Brace," he said, "joined this club five years ago, sines when he has been the mainstay of Kow. loon cricket. His remarkable bat ting averages easily bear this out. He was as successful with the ball. Mr. Lindsell also mentioned that Mr. Braco served as Captain of the club during the season 1920- 30, and was on the General Cem- mitteo for two years, 1927-29, "If ho stays long in England" said tho President, I will expect to see him in the first class oricket aver- agen."

It was also agreed that the door' should be left open for the nomi nation to the college of candidates from the Indian Territorial Force and the Auxiliary Force, on the Bame footing and in the same cate. gory as the Indian Army cadet.
