SILLY SYMPHONY SETS WORLD RECORD
What is undoubtedly the "greatest record over hung up by a short feature is being registered by "Flowers and Trees," the first; Silly Symphony in colour which is now shown in its 28th week in the West End of London. The Disney featurette had its London opening at the Tivoli Theatra where it has played for four weeks, it is now playing at the Plaza, the largest theatre in that section. and there is no telling how much longer it will run there, the end is not yet in sight, according to all reports from London. What a magnificent testimonial, so Hong Kong theatre goers have something to look for ward to, when this appears at the King's Theatre · in conjunction with "Scarface" which is coming to the King's Theatre on Jurs 11. 12, 13 and 14.

THE STORY OF AN INSURANCE AGENT WHO BECAME KING FOR A DAY & A HALF. voice
It is an outstanding entertain- ment, with its wonderful setting and still more wonderful music. The picture is as strong in its comedy element as it is in its music. It concerns a noted Opera whose magnificent Binger coupled with his good looks makes him a favourite with the Indies. He is managed however by one strong minded lady, nickname Non-stop who handles all his affairs and rushes him from one
opera house to another with perfect good will. On the train to Bucharest he meets a friendly stranger, why although a crook, has charm of manner, and over two bottles of firm champagne they become friends. Inspired by the wine, be decides to break his journey at Zern, and succeeds in giving Non- stop the slip. In Zern he is far ious to find that his fame has preceded him, and punishes the persistent Keretsky, who is now, after engaging himself Fortare's secretary, he forces him to assume his personality. Quite a few com plicsions ensue particularly when Ferrare finds himself arrested as the erock and he has to sing to prove that he is the noted singer and not the crook as they suppose. However, his wonderful voice even- tually wins his case and the girl" of his choice.
