In villages in Szechwan Province streats have been thronged with listeners to the first set introduced } Queen's. to their part of the country, In onn instance troops had to be enll ed out to disperse the crowds-the local governor believing that the crowds wore massing for revolu tionary purposes. With the crowd

ispersed, the soldiers tank their places fore the shop in which the radio was being demonstrated, and they jammed the street more than the people, who took refuge | behind buildings and listened from whatever vantage points they ecull find.

In certain inland' towns, where the wealthy classes do not care to provide themselves and chance au- diturs with radio music, the local governments have bought the in- struments for the people, set them up in public places, and providi prograins during the day and often at night,

A Natural Oraze,

By virtue of this natural craze for radio that seems to be inherent in the Chinese people, it is believ ed that wireless will prove to be op of the greatest factors in educat ing the more backward parts of the country and affording them inti mate communication with progres-" sive ports and the outside world.

It is also believed that radio will help to unite China's numerous dis senting factions by affording rapid communication of ideas and argu ments. People will be able to have 1 more intimate insight into the machinations and operations of their government: and this fact will go far toward making China a truly democratic nation.

'MEN LIKE THESE."

UNIQUE SUBMARINE FILM

AT THE QUEEN'S.

"Men Like These "-the unique. submarine picture which opened its run at the Queen's Theatre yester jeny--may well be described as a feather in the cap of the Elstree producers, for it is indeed a unique film in every way. And little won- der too that the picture is scoring such a big suveess for it has for its theme the superb courage and ex- emplary conduct, displayed in the face of death by those men who serve under the seas. The British

Admiralty gave its unqualified assistance to Walter Summers the director of the picture, and in order that technical details in the film Nahosild be authentic, Capt; Bruce,

R.X., was lent as naval adviser.

The story itself is not new but it shows the horrors attendant on accidents to submarinos, and the
