DIAMONDS

Hatton Garden, London, the world's greatest diamond market, is booming,

Big "secret" orders are ralling in from Italy, where the import of precious stones is prohibited.

Many Italiana, scared of a currency crisis, are secretly buying and hoarding stones, for the diamond is still con- sidered the finest investment in the world.

Germany also are good buyers at the moment, largely on account of uncer- tain economic conditions.

Noel Coward Plays Written In Hongkong

TO BE PRODUCED IN MANCHESTER NEXT MONTH

NOEL COWARD is about to exploit a new idea of dramatic entertainment.

The experiment begins at Manchester Opera House on October 16, when, in association with his business partner, John C. Wilson, he produces an enter- tainment which he calls "To- night at 8:30.".

This entertainment will con- sist not of one play, but of several, and they will not be the same every evening. In fact, it will be the repertory idea applied to new plays instead of old ones. Mr. Coward has recently written six new plays, and three more are to be added to the repertoire.

Two of the playa were writ- ten while he was holidaying in Hongkong earlier this year. Each programme will consist of one serious play, one comedy and one operetta. Mr. Coward and
