The following programme will be AN ACTOR'S HINTS

It has the old-fashioned virtue that it is not afraid to tell a strong presented: story. It has the old-fashioned

fault of allowing that story to develop in a way that smacks of the theatre rather than of life.

LAWYER MAN

نيد

From "Ladies' Man" to "Lawyer Man" in a year's time. That's the record of William Powell, who has the stellar role in the Warner Bros. plcture entitled "Lawyer Man." which comes to the King's. Theatre to-day. ||

Powell declares he has never been a ladies' man in real life, that the picture role was thrust upon him, and that he never particular- 17 enjoyed it,

The pieture is not without its romantic angle, however, for after several somewhat flirtatious affairs with the feminine world of high society, he falls in love with his secretary, part played by Joan Blondell.

MANNER"

Sir Seymour Hicks, who has played almost every possible type of part in half a century on the stage. filled a new role recently, when he gave advice to "young medical students.

He was Inaugurating a new school year of the Westminster Hospital Medical School at the Caxton Hall.

His speech was Alled with. anecdotes, many of them, he claimed, “very nearly true," and all designed to give point to sound advice from "just an ordinary fellow who paints his nose for a living."

Advice which he offered in- cluded:

"Of all the difficult people with whom you have to contend the worst are artists. They are 'nervous people who live on their nerves- or other people's-and have to be treated as with a silken thread.

"Always beware of the man who wants to know the truth.' Belleve me, that is the last thing he wants. "See that you have a cheerful maid to open the door. Too often the door is opened by a muld whose face seems to say: "This way to the morgue."

"Beware of the bedside manner. Carried to excess it makes one wonder whether to be up and about or to invite the undertaker to lunch..

"NEVER QUARREL" "Never let anyone tälk scandal to you. Always bet 10 to 1 against anything you are told, and you will make money. Forget luck in life; make everyone you meet an op- portunity, Never
