A SUCCESSFUL CALAMITY

George Arliss carries on the War- ner Bros. record of hit after hit with a magnificent portrayal in his latest Warner Bros. Pictüre "A Successful Calamity.”

The picture, which has its run at the Queen's Theatre to-day. tells the story of a multi-million- aire, hailed by the President as one of the world's greatest Anan- cial wizards, who could not keep his family at home until he told them he last his money during a year's trip abroad in the interests of the nation. The test brings out the real stuff his children and wife are made of, and brings the story to a happy ending..

Throughout the picture, Arliss is the dominating feature. His de- livery of lines is perfect in the Arlissian manner. He runs the gamut of human emotion with ease and equal skill in perform- ance, Ee is superb 38 a. dramatist, delightful as a come- dian. He is marvelous in his ability to transpose reality to the screen. In short, “A Successful Calamity" is the expected and per- fect Arliss entertainment, repre- senting the highest type of human drama the screen can offer.

The problem in Hong Kong in general presented special dificul- ties of effective control owing to the free movement of Chinese population between the Colony and Chinese territory, particularly at present with many thousand refugees.

The Colonial Government, how ever, had announced its willing- ness to give effect to the proposals of the Majority Report, but before Anally deciding he would await appreciation of the situation from" the new Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, with whom he had discussed the problem. before he solled.
