HOLLYWOOD.

A NEW CULT OF SHADOWS.

A SILHOUETTE ARTIST.

Hollywood, Calif., Nov. 29.- What's in a shadow? -

Plenty that is if you have any ideas about seeing your name blazoned in electric lights along Broadway's movie row. Such is the opinion of Gene Ross, noted silhouette artist.

According to Miss Ross, a person's character-and per- sonality-always important fac- tors in cinema endeavours more readily divulged through their shadows than by their faces. The silhouette, being only a cut- out of a shadow, of course serves the same purpose.

"Human types are ascertained by the shape and poise of the head," declares Miss Rosa, who has made intensive studies of bankers, film folk, criminals and others. Therefore, the silhouette or shadow are the easiest to read because of the sharp outline they present"

Takes Five of Ent.

Miss Ross cut out silhouettes of five actresses in quick succes- sion the other day and from them Colleen classed her subjects. Moore was listed as a flapper. ultra feminine, Mary Astor an Bilte Dove, simply beautiful; Dorothy Mackaill, a sportswoman, and Maria Corda, exotic.

Kuala Lumpur, Dec. 23. Mystery surrounds a great fire which occurred between one and three a.m. yesterday and razed to ground Rembau Railway Station, about 15 miles from Seremban southern lac.

Every attempt to extinguish the conflagration falled. Help was sought from Seremban, but owing to the distance and the awkward time the local brigade was unable to render assistance.

The fire raged so fiercely that, a fow with the exception of cabinets, almeirahs and account books, practically everything was burnt to cinders.

Mr. T. P. Sargeants, District Engineer of Seremban, visited the place in a special train and brought 'materials for the erection of a

temporary station.

With the complete destruction of the tablet aystem the trains are now run with the assistance of pilots.

MALAYS IN CEYLON.

DEMAND FOR A COUNCIL SEAT.

A mass meeting of Malays was held at the Public Hall, Colombo, recently to support the demand for a separate seat in the Legislative Council.

He asked why those, who preached this brother hood, and tried to take the Malays under their protection did not at tempt to do so to the Borahs, the Mammoms and Malayalis.
