"Olsen's Big Moment" El Brendel, proniler Swedish come. dian of the screen appearing in

"Olsen's Big Alament", ex Film's

King's Theatre on Thursday. Play ing the role of a janitor of an apart ment house who takes 4 hand at patching up romances, El Brendel in said to be given ample spportunities to supply his audience with laughs. Walter Catlett who has long been known for his comedy roles, plays the part of drunk. With two such stellar comedians in ane pleture, "Olsen's Big Moment" gives promise, of being a laugh riot. It la reported that Brendel, who has long been known for his Senndinaviau antics, plays a role that is for more port- Ant than any of his previous endeavours. He was last seen in "My Lips Betray" with Lilinn Harvey and John Boles. The cast also includes Burbarn Wecks and Susan Fleming

last seen as two of the beauties in "My Weaknena”. The remaining members of the east are John Arledge, Maidel Turner, Edward Pawley and Joseph Sauers. The picture was directed by Malcolm St. Clair from the story by George Marshall. Henry Johnson and James adapted the story

for the screen.

"One Way Poннage" Seldom has a stranger or more drumatic or more fascinating romance been unfolded before the eyes of 43 spellbound audience than the one enacted with magnificent recklessness hy Kay Francis and William Powell during the sequences of "One Way Fnasage," " which is showing at the Alhambra Theatre. Two people- strangers to each other until they jog elbows in Hongkong cafe- meet by accident on the eve of their steamer's departure for San Fran cisen. Both are under sentence of

death, though of a widely different ort. But the joy of love repinces the terrors of death from the moment their eyes meet. Each of the lovers knows the davm that hovers. Neither knows the fate that has marked the other.

Bir. Thomas Lay, Assistant Superintendent of Mails, was in the witnean-box during the whole of yesterday's proceedings, and was cross-examined by Mr. Strollett with regard to Post Office proce and insured letters... He stated that dure in the delivery of registered

sometime in 1931, an order WES issued with special reference to the Hongkong and Singapore Brigade. The order was that all registered or insured letters addressed offeinls of the Brigade should be given to the orderly and letters addressed to individuals should only be delivered to the addressees themselves. By the word "orderly" he meant the R. A. orderly who collected letters.

Counsel's View.

to

When interrupted by his Worship when he asked questions relating to official correspondence, Mr. Strellett pointed out that two of the charges were connected with official corres- pondence. The prosecution had tried very hard to impress on his Worship's mind that a clear line of demarcation existed between the way official letters were delivered and the way in which lotters addressed to individuals were de- livered. He would attempt to show that that line did not exist.

In answer to further questions, witness said that if letter addressed to Colonel Thom a registered arrived in the Colony and it were received by defendant, and the clerk In the Kowloon Post Oleo know that defendant had received it in- stead of Colonel Thom, then the Peat Office would be in the wrong.

In the course of the evidence witness produced several·lista of receipta of registered letters signed by defendant in 1992,
