You must have certainly read in the papers the whole programme and detailed description of the day -and very probably you've seen Just as everything yourselves. well, because I do not think I could tell you much!

"Sailors" Luck.”

On the night before. Friday, I Had Been to the King's Theatre to see

"Ballor's Luck.” The fil wasn't very good but it was quite a full house; as the receipts of the evening were going entirely to the Cheer O Club. Eow very nice of the King's Management! And who says Civilians in Hong Kong don't do enough for the troops! The Cheer O Club said they needed $35,000. In a few days the subscrip- tions (made mostly by civilians) have reached. 327,000. I think it's simply marvellous.
