a court procession, for which an entire quarter of ancient Bagdad was reproduced at the studio, an instru. ment called the manjira carried the air of the march, while double drum. beats marked the rhythm on pairs of kettle-drums borne on the back of Nubian attendants. The soft, lilting Oriental songs were accompanied by

instrument played with a bow, comparable to our the modern violin. In the harem of caliph, where many beautiful dancers sway to Eastern rhythms, the music was furnished by a thre-stringed in- strument called sitar, and the beats accentuated by the dambura, or hand drum leading a notable cast is Ola Skinner, who played the same role on the stage with auch gront success.

"Sky Devils**

"Sky Devils." now showing at the King's Theatre is alight ning-fact comedy, based on the thrilling and romantic adventures of three American aviators during the World War. The leading roles are played by Spencer Tracy William Boyd, George Cooper and Ann Dvorak. An air-fleet of 56 planes was used in Aiming the sensational dying scenus ships and in one sequence alone 50 are shown in thrilling combat above the clouds. It is an audacious tale of three flying clowns who violate every rule of war to have a good time, and in the face of court-martial for disobedi ence accomplish so many

and accidental feats of gallantry they are decorated for their impertinent ex- ploits. The story of "Sky Devils" has many unusual twists, and the dialogue sparkles with humour.
