SINNER TAKE ALL

It is an unusual story that unfolds on the screen ät the King's Theatre, in the picture "Sinner Take All," which opens to-day. The process of blending metropolitan mystery, with ro- mance in the high spots and comedy in the newspaper world, is accomplished with remarkable finesse.

When Gunboat Was

Britain's Oldest Ex-Navy Officer Recalls His Adventures

Mr. John Taylor, of Shrewsbury- road, Bolton, the oldest surviving novál officer on the retired list, celebrated his 100th birthday re- cently.

"When I saw Mr. Taylor, to-day as he sat in his favourite chair he recalled some of his adventures, writes a Home correspondent.

"THEY FLED"

"I remember an encounter with pirates in the China Seas," he said. I was then serving as assistant- engineer in the gunboat Charlotte, engaged in quelling piracy.

Lord Charles, who was a close friend of the Prince of Wales, afterwards King Edward VII, was keen that the Prince should re one of the large guns; and the Prince agreed.

THE QUEEN'S WARNING "But the Prince said he must first ask the queen," added Mr.

Taylor.

"So Queen Victoria visited the ship and the gun mechanism was explained to her Finally she agreed, telling Lord Charles that she bad told the Prince to be sure to put' plenty of cotton wool in his ears."
