SELASSIE'S LIFE

BUT FRENCH CHEF HAS ONE REGRET

His Lovely Kitchen May

Be in Danger

There is a Frenchman now in London who once altered the course of the Emperor of Abyssinin's life. For over a year he was chef to Ras Tafari (as the Emperor was before his coronation in 1928) in the palace of Addis Ababa the first, and at that time the only, European chef in the country.

A few days ago this man, M. Henri Cham- bard, now chef of à London restaurant, told Lon- 'don newspapermen how, when working in a Paris restaurant, he first attracted Ras Tafari's atten- tion by serving him with fole gras in port wine sauce with truffles.

"He sent his secretary to me and asked me whether I could come out to Addis Ababa an his chef. I took the opportunity and arrived at the capital with my wife early in 1927," said Mr. Chambard.

A maroon announced the begin- AWARD

ning of the raid, and a few seconds later exploding smoke bombs filled the yard with drifting yellow smoke, which surrounded a num- ber of boys playing football,

Fourteen of them fell to the! ground, and within a few moments nurses wearing gas-masks and gloves, and carrying spare Kas- masks, rushed on to the scene with stretchers.

The spare masks were quickly fitted on to the victims, who, after first-aid treatment had been given, were carried into a gas-tight and splinter-proof ald-post.

So realistic were these opera- tions that one woman spectator rushed out of the yard shout-¦ ing, "I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"

Inside the aid-post the "victims" were quickly stripped of all their clothing, which was sent through to a gas purifying plant, while the "casualties" themselves were also scrubbed in a bath of disinfectant to rid their skins of any clinging

Those whose lungs had been affected were treated with oxygen and gas anti-lotes, while "wounds" were washed and dressed. *

They were then passed through the clothing store, where they were dressed and then sent either to their homes or to hospitals for further treatment.

This was the most complete de- monstration which has yet been given of the way in which first-aid work would be carried out in the event of enemy air attack, and it was watched by Major H. B. F. Dixon, M.C., R.A.M.C., on behalf of the War Office, who compliment- ed the nurses on the way they had carried out their work.

Arrangements have already been made by the St. John Ambulance Brigade, working in conjunction with the Home Office, to set up a large number of these first-aid posts nil over the London area,

The official communique nouncing the award said:"

"The excellent interpretation of the Greta Garbo, joined with efficacious and human translation into images of Tolstoi's master- plece, makes of this film a work of undoubtedly artistic value."

Presentation of the Mussolini Cup will be made by the Italian- Consul Auguste Russo to Louis B. Mayer and Clarence Brown at a reception in Hollywood.

"Anna Karenina" was released in America recently and received favourable criticism as a mature version of Tolstoi's novel. The picture was directed by Clarence Brown' under the production super- vision of David O. Selznick. The script was prepared by Clemence Dane and Salka Viertel.

Meanwhile, the film is breaking records throughout America. It is being held over for a third week by popular demand at the 5,000- seat Capitol Theatre, Broadway. Records established by "China Sons, another smash hit,

"It was quite a usual thing for 15 oxen or sheep to be killed for one banquet, and they were always caten the same day. It was on account of the meat- eating that twice a week the Emperor starved himself and ate nothing but a little salad and some fish.”
