World's Richest Man To "Star" In Films

THE Nizam of Hyderabad, richest man in the world, is to appear on the screen as a "star."

He will make a talking film of the magnificent Silver Jubilee celebrations of his accession to the ancient throne of Hyderabad, which will be delayed until next year, owing to the death of King George.

It will show the superb parade of elephants, the wonderful radio exhibition and a wonder display of fireworks, costing

£10,000.

The Nizam will be the central figure in this film, wearing jewels of extraordinary splendour and value. This will be the first film ever made in which real pearls and rubles worth millions of pounds are "shot,"

SPLENDID JEWELS

The Nizam's wealth is computed to be anything up to £150,000,000. No one knows the real extent of his hoarded wealth.

To-day the city of Hyderabad, resplendent with its beautiful

and masques

fragile-looking minarets, is changing into a fairy city.

The streets are decorated with multi-coloured paper garlands and flowers.

The Nizam's experis made special visits to London last summer to watch and study the decorations of London during the King's Silver Jubilee.

The Durbar Hall has been en- inrged to hold 10,000 guests from, all parts of the world.

"DRESS WONDER

The Moslem Peers of Great Bri- tain and learned leaders of Islam will be specially Invited to attend the ceremony.

Deputations from America and Africa are going to Hyderabad to offer their congratulations In person.

The Nizam has ordered a special dress to be made for the occasion, modelled on the style of that worn by the great Mogul Emperor Shahajahan, the builder of the world-famous Taj Mahal.

The turban and dress of the Nizam will contain priceless jewels. The world has not yet seen a costller garment.

And all this will be pictured.

CAPTAIN GODFREY MEYNELL, M.C., who fell mor-

tally wounded at the head of his Indian soldiers in a hand-to-hand fight with Mohmand rebels last Septem- ber, has been awarded the Victoria Cross-the first new V.C. for fourteen years, only the second since the war and the last awarded by the late King George V.

Captain Meynell's father, Brigadier-General Godfrey Meynell, of Meynell Langley, Derby- shire, received the news on Christmas Eve-in a message from the King, who soon afterwards fell ill.
