The bowl,

which was presented by Mr. J. Roxburgh, was inscribed as follows:

r. J. Watson, secretary of the Marine Engineers Guild, paying tribute to Mr. Murray, said that he had joined the company ng a junior engineer in 1896, being pro- moted to second engineer two years later, and to chief engineer in 1001. Three years later he was trans- ferred to the shore staff as super- intendant engineer, and had been in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and at the Taikoo Dock since that time. Mr. Murray was leaving on Satur- day for England and Australia.

Mr. Murray, in his 37 years of service, had filled h.s position with great credit. He had carried out a difficult job with tact, courtesy, and kindness (applause). He hop- ed that when in times to come Mr. Murray looked at the cup, he would think of the officers and the com- pany in Shanghai.

**FAITHLESS"

POWERFUL STORY OF THE DEPRESSION

"World depression" generally

conveys to the man in the street a complete absence of business with the accompanying evils of unem- ployment and wage cuts resulting in the spending power of the pub lic being considerably reduced. But how many people have given a thought to the social side of world depression The closing of banks might mean that many people have lost their entire savings, but what does mean to the man or woman. who has been accustomed to laxury all their lives and who, by the mere act of the bank closing their doors, are compelled to earn a liv ing and fight for their daily bread↑

The answer-or at least an in- teresting aspect of it-can be seen in the current film at the Queen's Theatre: The picture is called "Faithless" and in it, a woman of good name and standing is com pelled to earn money by the one thing she had that was marketable, depression or no depression.

Talulah Bankhead and Robert Montgomery play the leading roles in this film. They start off rich and wealthy but as the depression wears on they go through various stages of degradation until both are happy though starving. The climax is reached when Montgomery meets with an accident and his life has. to be saved by medicine which, they had no money to buy. It is here that the story becomes interesting and the girl makes the big sacri- fice, unknown to her husband.

However, facts must be faced, and when in due course the hus band recovers and is told what the wife had done to keep him alive, what does he do? It would not do to write it down here, for this is the best part of the story. You will like the ending just às much as you will like the story. It is an unusual film which every- one, interested in the least in "the effects of the world. depression, should make it a point to sec.
