OUR CENSORS HAVE GOT

THEIR SCISSORS BUSY ON “CHINA SEAS”

(By H. B.)

A year or so ago the famous M.G.M. picture “China Seas” was banned by the Hongkong censors. To-day that ban has been lifted and the film is showing at the King's Theatre. But doubticas_fow cinema-goers will be surprised to know that the picture has been extensively cut, and is but a fragmentary film.

nitowed the full running of the pirate

scenes, the following description ot the deleted scenes may interest Hong- kong film-goers who will certainly wonder what takes place between the robbing of the arsenal and the enter- Ing in the log-book by Gable that
