CRAZY REVUE GREAT PROGRAMME

ARRIVES

"Hello Hongkong"

Scoros Hit

Boisterous, breezy, witty, humorous and musical, the much publicised crazy revue "Hello Hongkong" gave

keenly attentive audience last night handsome entertainment for nearly three hours at the Chinn Fleet Club, striking a new note in local, stage board productions.

One could have wished for a little more polish and Anish to some of the numbers, but this deflclancy was likely due to first-night nervousness, more than lack of rehearsal, Most of the turns, though, were remark- ably good, and provoked constant ripples of mirth from the auditorium. Charles Gill was a big hit with his comedy song "Almost A Lady," and showed a distinct fair for burlesque of the best musle hall type. There were some amusing interpolations by Charles Owen and Edward Talbot, but the cleverest items were a vignette "Between Dances" by Owen and Peggy Walker, and a dumb show "Gestures" by Thomas Barlow and

Owen.

OF MANOEUVRES IN PACIFIC EXPECTED

If the altuation in the Far East is relieved sufficiently by April next year, troops and warships stationed in Hongkong will participate in the greatest combined British manoeuvres over hold In the Pacific.

According to the Hampshire Telegraph und Naval Chronicle, the China Squadron of the Royal Navy, the Royal Australian Navy, the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force planes stationed at Singapore and Hongkong and Royal Australian Air Force planes, as well as military units, are to participate in the combined operations.
