WIFE

.NO more dramatic thrills ever were shown in a picture embracing the activities of G-Men than in the Warner Bros. production, "Public Enemy's Wife," which is the current feature at the King's Theatre.

Yet the picture has a unique and unusual havour. as in addition to the exciting' episodes there is a fascinating romance between the ace G-Man and the woman in the

title role, the wife of a public

enemy.

There is an unusually talented cast, which includes Pat O'Brien, Margaret Lindsay, Robert Arm- strong, Cesar Romero, Dick Foran Joseph King. Richard Purcell and Addison Richards.

The second exhibition of Chin- ese watercolour paintings by Misses Hung Pi-shuang. Hsiung Yau- shuang, and Halung Pei-shuang is at the St. Francis Hotel. The ar- tists wil personally be present - to demonstrate their technique as and when requested. It will be recalled that during their first exhibition held at the Hop Yat Church in September last, no less than $800 were realised from sales of pl tures, all of which has been ap- plied towards war rellet. The pre sent exhibition is being held with a similar view in mind.

THREE SISTERS

The three sisters are well known in China. They have held" ex-' hibitions of their work in Nanking and Shanghai with great success, Recently, the Minstry of Education of China decided to send them abroad to study western art, but the present national crisis has prevented them from leaving their country.

At the China Building is the first one-man exhibition of very de- lightful and delicate Chinese watercolour paintings by the great, colourist, Mr. Chiu 8htu-ngong. Mr. Chiu is not only well known all over China but has been hon- oured in Europe as well. He has exhibited in many parts of China, and won a gold medal for high merit in the International Art Exposition Brussels. Bom in Canton in 1907, he studied under the late Mr.Ko Kl-fung, and for the last three years has been a vincial Art School in Canton. master of Chinese art at the Pro-
