"Rafter Romance”

A delightful comedy with rib- tickling situations guaranteed to evoke every laugh in your system was presented at the Central Theatre yesterday in "Rafter Romance" which Is enacted by an able cast well versed in the finesse of eliciting roars and chuckles headed by the pert, vivacious and peppy Ginger Rogers, co-fentured with Norman Foster and George Sidney. The thente of "Rafter Ro- in manco" is entertainingly refreshing itself with its spicy intrigue.

A CENTRE OF NIGHT

LIFE

POLICE CHIEF'S PROMISE

Paris, Dec. 5,

M. Plorro Chiappe won applauso from the Paris Municipal Council yesterday by assuring them that ho would as soon put a frock-coat on. the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or a bowler on the Venus of Milo, ns, allow the Avenue des Champs Elysees to be turned into a new centre of night life on the model of Montmartre and Montparnasso.

This famous street, prolonging. the nóblo perspective from the heart of the Louvre through the Tuileries Gardens to the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde, up the hill to the Arc de Triompho, has changed in character considerably since the War.

›

On the one hand, its representa- tive significance for the nation has been enhanced now, that it leads to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe. The floodlighting of the top of the arch and of the obelisk, the flumination of the fountains "with the glass doves at the Rond Point, have added to its beauty at night,

On the other hand, It has become one of the principal shopping cen-. tres of Paris. Newspaper offices" and premises of motor-car manu facturers, with unbroken glass fronts three storeys high; alternate with enfes, restaurants, bars, cinemas, and the like, where hotels particuliers once succeeded cach other in discreet diguity.

SLENDER AND 'DIGNITY.

The skyline has been radically changed. Strange modern archi tectural fantasies, Including an "accordion facade," have alarmed lovers of tradition. Brilliantly coloured electrical advertisements compete for attention with muni- elpal, floodlighting.

M. Renard, Prefect of the Selne, promised that the advertisements, und especially the illuminations, would be subjected to a severe aesthetic censorship. The worst architectural proposals have already been rejected.

The Prefect of Police promised that no new licences would be issued for bars or cafes in the Avenue, Street walkers and frau- dulent beggars would be energeti- enlly removed, whereas genuine beggars would be treated with more considerationi.

The street, he said, offered the most magnificent prospect in the world. At one end the gardens were sacred to children. At the other was the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier. He would see to it. that it retained both splendour and dignity..

ing the typical country doctor he rises to the greatest heights of his long and Lrilliant

carour, An execptionally strong cast aids admirably. Such players are Dorothy Jordan, Joel BeCren, Frances Dee and May Robson contribute impresalve performances while juvenile interest is added by the fine work of several splendid child players.
