We have considerable pleasure in announcing the opening of our new premises in St. George's Building. Chater Road, Hong Kong, on Monday the 6th inst. These new premises provide us with ample facilities for the displaying of those lines in gentlemen's outfitting which will inevitably appeal to the most discriminating masculine taste.
We, ourselves feel that we are offering an entirely different service,-different because our buying is so absolutely right, and because our prices are Homeside prices.

SHERLOCK HOLMES UP-TO-DATE
IN KING'S FILM
(By "Celluloid")
is cinema
Wentertainment there will al
ways be Sherlock Holmes: stage and screen have been building the short stories and. novels into melo-dramas ever since Conan Doyle Introduced the "romantic figure to the liter- ary world. And if the supply of plots is exhausted, well there is still some initiative left in scenario writers, as is the case ! with the King's film" to begin on Sunday.
Д
It has nothing to do with the of the Doyle Sherlock Holmes
pipe-smoking series. True, Holmes, an asinine Watson and a scheming Moriarty are shown, but the atmosphere of 19th century London is gone and in its place is a gang of Chicago racketedra travel- King through London with machine guns in high powered cars. Hol- mes even deserts the ranks of the misognista.
But an ordinary melo-drama of the most blood-curdling kind, di- vorced from all association with the Holmes that Doyle made, the film is good entertainment. Photograph action, is well suited to the 'direction accentuates the tension and the plot, Is a little more ingenious than the usual "thriller with a couple of glimpses of the astounding deductions that made Holmes famous in the books.

Bright dialogue is the feature of this swift moving film..
DRODUCED at the time when
Padios were falling over the
selves to keep up-to-date with the rush on Viennese films, The Blue Danube, now at the Central, fol- lows the usual lines of stage and screen musical romance. The plot is too flimsy to stand on its own, but finds the necessary support in Alfred Rode and his Royal Tzigane Band, whatever a Royal Tzigane Band may be.
A lot of new names figure in the cast, but the long-memoried film fan will recognise in Brigette Helm, the German girl who played in the fantastic Metropolis some year ago, Then three are Joseph Shildkraut, German American. Dorothy Rouchler and Desmond Jeans, bro- ther of Isabel Jeans, the London Lavourite...
In Desmond Jeans, Australians may recognise Desmond McMinn who went to Australia seven years
