The big screen musical comedy that brings the beadly-oyed comic in company with Lyda Roberti and the famous Goldwyn Girls to the King's Theatre is the work of many hands and minds.

It was, in fact, the King's first talkio brought to a happy climax a production rightly regarded as the most ambitious directorial offort from any British studio. novel Mr. Priestley's ople has added to the enjoyment of many thousands nt home and abroad; as a stage play, "The Good Companions" was brought even more vividly to life, but it is only, just to assert that the screen version, unhindered by the limitations of the footlight, brings to a famous work of fiction a now and stieringly vivid interpretation.

Two years ago, Eddie Cantor and Samuel Goldwyn talked over the idea of having a satire in which Eddie would appear as the pop-eyed Jewish brat from Brooklyn who grew up to become the world's greatest bull fighter. Vaguely, it had some founda- tion in the career of Sidney Franklin. They liked the idea, the producer and the star, so Eddie registered it under the title of "The Kid from loves and hates, their striv Spain,"

"Gabriel Over The White House" Motro-Goldwyn-Mayer is to be con- gratulated on the handling of the dimeult theme of a President of the United States faced with the current problems of unemployment, racketeer- ing, prohibition and world disarma ment. Walter Huston enacts the President who comes to the White Heuse as a bluffing, back-slapping, in. sincere politician and subsequently meets with an accident which changes him almost overnight into a man of integrity, resourcefulness and the iron ability to take control of a baffling series of obstacles involved in the chaos of a nation plunged into economic uncertainty, riddled by gangsters and thwarted in its demand for payment of. European debts.

TO LADIES WHO PREFER SMALL SHOP BARGAINS.

There are certain things we refuse to sell. Naturally we like sales to increase turnover, and this is done by applying the smallest. margin of profit. Of course, to achieve this, the unconditional confidence of our customers is absolutely imperative.

We are not criticising other silk stores, but we do know our own stocks and we are eager to tell you all about the materials we import from different parts of the world. :

The intelligent buying of silks and hosiery is our aim, and we indicate to purchasers which are the right types of products to ensure full value for money spent.

We refuse to believe that smaller shops sell cheaper than we do, for our profits are not made from our customers, but from the large booking of exchange at favourable rates, and our business of Colombo jewellery stores. Our power of purchase from the actual manufacturers is much greater than the average shop, and this is why we can defy the various forms of competition. Our prices are absolutely uniform, and we do not vary them according to the class of customer.

Very Truly Yours,

For Better Silks,

PARIS SILK STORE,
