With Ernest Truex and Una Merkel in the leading roles, "Whist- ling in the Dark" which opened its run at the Queen's Theatre Kowloon C.C. yesterday is both a "laughing and thrilling picture" and should prove immensely popular with local cinema-goers.

It is seldom that one is privileg- ed to enjoy both laughs and thrills in a picture, but in "Whistling in the Dark" the picture has not only these two "ingredients" but also an unusual background for a story which is thoroughly enter- taining.
