"He is on the plat farm, in front of a big board, which used to announce the fact that the station was Camerton, but which now bears in large lotters Fal Vale, June tion for Truro," Plus fours, a rowing mcarf, and a grin are the three most casily apparent features about him as he talks to a group of young men-a mixed bag of them--who have been engaged as supera.

""Now, boys,' says the man with the grin, 'I want you to be here sharp on time. Wear old clothes, some with collars and ties, some without. 'an- chokers, if you like.

With a simple profoundly human atory that millions have laughed and wept over, "Daddy Long Legs" pro- vides notable entertainment for Hong- kong screen patrons to-day at the King's Theatre.

Barking the first time that charin- ing Jatt Gaynor and the polished, Warner Baxter have been co-starred, this Fox Films production of Jean Webster's well loved play is confident- ly expected to set new attendance records at the big picture house dur- ing its run. Both the leading playera ari. Ideally suited to their roles, and an excellent supporting cast, headed by Una Merkel, John Arledge, Claude Gillingwater, Sr., and Kathlyn Wil liams, and splendid direction combine to make "Daddy Long Legs" one of the real cinematic treats of the year.

This dim, released by Columbia Ple- tures, depicts the absorbing adven tures of Paul L. Hoefler, Colorado explorer, on a daring trip through the hitherto unexplored regions of the dark continent. From a scenie stand- point it is magnificent, while the in timate glimpace of native life are fascinating from a news value.

The camera, on a special mechanical device, "les" through the hall, look ing over shoulders, at first one game, then another, and thus taking in the entire scene in one comprehensive trip.
