The use and abuse of alcohol receives due consideration, and "the story is told of a greatly respected physician remarking to a young resident doctor, who was defend- ing the use of brandy for a child with pneumonia on the grounds that the himself had made an ex- cellent recovery from the sanie disease with similar treatment.

Patrons
Two charming young Call- fornians will make their Hong Kong debut at the Gloucester on Saturday night. They are Modie and Lemaux, who come to us fresh from a four months engagement in Shanghai, where they danced at the New Ciro Club, with out- standing success. Before that, they were in famicus San Fran- cisco and gave glowing accounts of nights when they danced at the well-known "Tabarin Night Club." Another place that knows them well is Buenos Aires, and yet another is Havana. It was in this exotic Cuban capital that they studied and worked out the won- derful Rhumba, which we shall see at The Gloucester.
Modic and Lemaux are ball- room dancers par excellence but have a new and original manner of mixing their wonderful acro- bate and "trick" numbers with graceful and swinging ballroom dances,
They propose to commence their Premiere next Saturday with a "Tango" which they danced at Buenos Aires.

FILMS
Singapore cinema audiences will not be allowed to see two of the outstanding films of the year owing to the action of the Censor Capt T. M. Hussey, in banning them.
..One of the films in question is the adaptation by Warner Bros., of Mare Connolly's famous play, "The Green Pastures," which gives a naive and pnetrating picture or Negro ideas on the nature of reli- Hon. God and heaven, and in which "de Lawd" is represented as a Negro preacher, one of whose chief de- lights is an occasional "fish fry.”
There is a strict rule at Home
vised for the occasion which they call the Coronation Waltź.
FEATURED IN TWO FILMS Modie has
some wonderful dresses. She allowed me a glimpse of her wardrobe, and asked me not to describe any of them, but she must forgive me if I mention just one amazing dress, trimmed at hem and shoulder with gleaming black and green cocks-feathers, with green pallettes, sparkling on a black ground.
