THE IDENTIFICATION CARD

Here's one thing the onnipotent- motion picture makers of Holly- wood can't do.. At least they dare

not.

No close-up has ever been shown, or will be, of an identification card used by members of the United States Secret Service, Scotland Yard, the French Surete, or other police organization of the world. "In the first place we can never hope to get such a card. In the second place we'd run in to all sorts of legal and diplomatic trou ble if we tried to. In the third place we do not want to," explain

Elizabeth McGaffer, head of the research" department of the Rko, studio in Hollywood..

the King's Theatre, on Sunday.

It is an engaging story, the main venue being a gramophone factory and has the expert assistance of those three monarchs of laughter, Harry Green, George Robery, and Billy Carylland, of course, the charming Renate Muller herself, who is supported by Ian Hunter, Maurice Evans, Charles Hawtrey, and Viola Lysl.

It is the story of a pretty grankphone recordist who is iu love with a fellow employee (Ian Hunter). The young gentlemen, head of a bachelor household of three brothers, is slow to realise Renate's affection for him, and bankers after “a rich marringe."

Such a card, one of the French Surcle,

Instead a cable was sent to the author of the story, H.

But the real one always must remain secret;

The reason for this caution is bvious. Mrs. McGuffey pointed out. A criminal with such a card might even get away with murder,
