One of the first things the new- comer to the studios learns is that white is never white. It may be yal- low. Visit any studio (anys a Daily Telegraph correspondent) and you will observe the handsome men and pretty women of the screen walking around in complexions of brightest. saffron. Similarly, the hero of the piece, wearing the evening dresa described in certain school of fiction ля Immaculate, actually sports waistcoat, shirt, collar, and the of the same gaudy hue.

Automatically deprived of his pension, this old soldier had striven ever since to vindicate his honour so that, in his own words, "he might look his war-time com- rados in the face again.". On Saturday, on Armistice Day ave, the Appeal Court rastored to him his rank and honours.
