Moving pictures for children were inevitable from the very moment moving pic- tures were invented; but it has been part of the normal course of things that they should not have been actually made until this time. "Only the very best that the world can pro- duce is to be laid before the sincerely critical eyes of the young.

The FOX KIDDIE FEATURES are ready for presenta tion, and the first of these, JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, will soon be before Hongkong cinema goers.
