But organised effort of the kind contemplated by the Association calls for money. Already, the Government has come forward with a sum of $25.000, but the Committee of the Association estimates that at least $50,000 to 360,000 per annum will be needed to put into operation its first year's schedule. For this reason, it is seeking to raise, dollar for dollar, a sum at least equivalent to the Government grant. The point which needs stressing is that the whole commercial com- munity of the Colony-irrespec- tive of the type of business engaged in-slands to gain COLOURED FILMS from the wider advertising of Hongkong, for obviously the -more-people--we-can induce to visit us, the more money will be put into circulation in the Colony. As the Association states, the potential benefit must obviously be greater to some than to others, and to these the Association rightly looks for the most support. But cach and every business con- cern in the Colony will indirect-] ly benefit from the activities of the Association. It may also be pointed out that the greater the support received, the wider will be the scope of the Associa- tion's work. Actually, the suc- cess or otherwise of the cam- paign lies with the business community as a whole. Many centres in the Far East and elsewhere which have no greater claims to notice than Hongkong -even if as great-find it to their advantage to boost their. attractions. Hongkong cannot therefore afford to lug behind the times. For the reasons cited, we warmly endorse the Association's appeal, confident be more in demand than brunettes, that the business men of the Colony will give the new move the send-off which its objectives so strongly merit.

The film industry seems to be approaching a crisis second only to that which it encountered when sound was added to vision and there came to triumphant life the talkies. Whatever the response of the British public to the first full- length coloured film may be-and even at this time of the year, when most people are out of doors, it will probably be emphatic-there Heems little doubt that henceforth colour will play a vital part in the development of the screen. Not for a few years, it may be, will according to one authority, once a colour be generally applied, but.

"Say! I thought we agreed not to see each other any more."

We met Pete over in Kowloon the other day. Pete lives on The Peak.

Believe it or not, we reached that stage when the breadth of Nathan Road was of greater importance than its length. Pele invited us to his fint for dinner.

"Y'all ri'?" asked Pete, as we stumbled aboard the Star Ferry.

"Yeh, I'm all ri'."

We poured each other onto a seat.
