"Pygmalion" Is Perfect Film

SHAVIANISM AT ITS BEST AT QUEEN'S

Brillant acting, brilliant comedy and a brilliant debut by Wendy Hiler as Eliza Doolittle, make "Pygmalion," the "Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer production, which opened at the Queen's Theatre on Satur- day to packed houses at every show, a film that really must not be missed.

Directed by Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard the production is Shavianism at its best with a capital performance by Mr. Howard as Professor Henry His

world-famous gins,

expert on phonetics. His transformation of Miss Hiller from a Covent Garden flower seller to a society debutante and the methods which he adopted to make this possible provided as Ane

entertainment as the severest critics would demand."

The plot, based on the story of Pygmalion and Galates, is brim- ful of satire-satire of a healthy type-and crowded with hilarious altuations.

Significant Ommission

A memorandum from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs published in the French press, exposes a deliberate falsification in the German White Book of a telegram sent by the Havas agency. The telegram refers to the first of two proposals made by the Italian Government to the French and other governments for a conter- ence to settle the Polish-German dispute.

The first proposal was made on August 31 and to it, the French Government in agreement with the British, gave an alarmative reply. But in reply to the second, made on September 236 hours after the German troops had en- tered Poland, the Italian Govém. ment were told that the proposed conference could not be held up- less Gerinan troops were with- drawn from the invaded terri- tory.

ORIGINAL TELEGRAM The original telegram, referring" to the first Italian proposal, sent Pték. W. Fergusson and W. HL 5. ] off on the night of September 1-2, ran as follows: "The Fretích Còv- | ernment were informed yesterday of the Italian démarche and gave an autimative reply."""
