Mickey, the singing mouse, is to go to Scotland for a holiday.
Professor Crew, of the Institute of Animal Genetics, Edinburgh, has asked Mrs. Eddey, his owner, to part with him for a while, so that the Intitute may, investigate his "voice," and if possible breed some mice of the same variety.
Mrs. Eddy's ambition is still to put him on the air."
"Perhaps the B.BC. will soon be able to broadcast á programme by a whole choir of singing mice." she suggested. "That would be one up on America, anyway."

Acted to perfection by its ace team of stars with the support of Franchot Tone, Reginald Owen, Mona Barrie and others, the new offering has that combination of wit charm and pulsating action which marked such earlier hits as "The Thin Man" and "It Happened One Night."
I'M NOT A
BORN ACTRESS
"My nose don't belong to face at all. When noses were shuf- Hed and dealt out I drew somebody else's."
The speaker of those words was Jean Harlow, delivering the frank- est personal confession ever utter- ed by a screen star.
"I have no chin to speaker of My eyes are set too deep in their sockets. My legs are well, all right, I suppose, as legs go, but you may have observed, though, that I never wear short skirts." So this confession goes on to develop into an orgy of self-debunking.

Jean Harlow started the game by remarking. "There is first of all the little matter of my face not matching"
By way of adding confirmation to that pronouncement she care- fully scrutinised the offending fea- tures in a mirror.

"DOCTORS MUST TELL” VERDICT BY COMMONS
M.P.s answered the question "Should a doctor tell?" recently.
Mr. Lovat Fräser (Nat. Boc., Lichfield), seconding the motion, quoted the case of the Duchess of Kingston, who was tried for blga- my before the House of Lords in 1770.

The question of medical privilege They said "Yes" when they raised when a surgeon was refused a second reading to a B called to give evidence on matters mhoved by Sir Ernest Graham Litwhich he learned in his profession-
al capacity, tle (Ind. London Univ.) to entitle information
doctors to regard given to them by patients as secrets which courts of law could not com- pel them to reveal
Bir Ernest said the protection asked for in the measure would greatly lower the mortality rate among unmarried mothers, many of whom lost the benefit of early ante-hatal treatment because they were afraid to confide in a doctor.
Lord Mansfeld said that if the Surgeon voluntarily revealed those secrets he would be guilty of breach of honour and of great Indiacretion, but that if he gave his evidence in a Court of Justice, as in law he was bound to do, it would never be imputed to him as breach of honour or Indiscretion
The Bill was rejected without a division.
