A programmie that may well test cxcel- an experienced pianist, was lently performed by little Eleonora Goldstein, from Z.B.W. studio, last

The first three numbers were delight in themselves, while the ren- dering left nothing to be desired. The Hungarian Rhapsody No. 11. went to prove that this child-prodigy is true to her reputation. Her technique is excellent,

The programme was well chosen, and the rendering so excellent that one cannut but think that there is a great future for the Wttle artiste, who interprets with so much feeling and the understanding the emotions of composer.

Passenger Falls Off Conte Rosso

Rescued After Long Immersion

A Danish passenger on the Conte Rosso can consider himself lucky lo be alive,

When the Italian liner was a few miles from Hongkong at 5 a.m, yester- day on its way from Shanghai the Dane leaned over the bulwarks and, losing his balance, fell into the sea. A companion gave the alarm and the ship wireled in the vicinity until etawn, about an hour and a half later when the man was discovered cling- febuoy which his com- ing to panion had thrown after him.

The man was in a state of collapse but soon recovered.

OUR GUIDE

TO THE CINEMAS

"Vogues of 1938" (King's Theatre. to-day).-Another step towards per- fecting the new technicolour art on the screen. The Alm gives glimpses of next year's fashions in girls, gowns, love and songs. Warner Baxter, Helen Vinson, Joan Bennett and Alan Mowbray head impres- sive cast.

----"Souls ---At---Sea”~~~(Quccu's-and. Theatres. to-day).It Alhambra would be difcult to find another male star who could fill the part of "Nuggin" Taylor so capably as Gary Cooper in this drama of the seas. Comper does not say much but, as in most of his other pictures, his every gesture is eloquent. George Raft gives 12 surprisingly fine portrayal as Taylor's pal, and good support is also forthcomaly from Frances Dee, Heary Wilcoxon and Olymp Bradna.

"A Star is Born" (Oriental Theatre, to-day).This is not only one of the best pletures shown in Hongkong in recent months bui It ulso marks Janet Gaynor's departure from her usual "saccharine sweetness" roles into straight drama. Frederic March and Adolphe Menjou are also starred. "Parnell" (Majestic Theatre, to- day).-A page tom from Ireland's turbulent history. Clarke Gable has the title role and, with the help of Myrna Loy, helps to make the alm interesting.
