MANSFIELD
ARRIVE FROM MANILA
(By "Abc")
Popular favourites everywhere they have visited, Pete Desjardins and Miss Marian Mansfield, world-famous American apringboard divers, arrived in Hongkong from Manila this morning by the President Coolidge on the final stage of their world tour. They are now returning to the United States via Japan and Honolulu.
Much as local swimmers would Miss Mansfield attructed a crowd of tribule to her and an like to see these two former Olympie 2,000-a stars in action, I regret to say that eloquent testimony to the popularity where they will have to be disappointed; of swimming in Malaya,

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT
Mr. Hugo himself has given up 1 do not think I am revealing any. secret when I say that the reason for ope of being able to fix up anything this is that suitable terms have not in the way of a public exhibition, and been agreed upon between the visitors has written to the divers to this effect, Desjardins and Miss Mansfield have the and the intending organisers in Colony.

would leave them open heavy Anancial loss if the support of the Hongkong usually fletle pubile in was not forthcoming.
CLUB NOT BLAMED Personally I do not blame the V.R.C. committee one bit for not wanting to take on what seemed to them to be a losing proposition. Their attitude is definitely not meant as a slight to the visitors, whom they recognise as among the top-rankers of the world in their niche of aquatic sport. This was made clear to me by Mr. D. F. Lopes, the Hon. Secre- fary of the V.R.C. when I spoke to him on the subjeel a couple of weeks
Ago.
Furthermore, this is not the best time of the year for swimming in the Colony. Whether a diving exhibi- tion during the middle of winter would be a money-making proposition here is extremely doubtful, in my opinion.
When Desjardins and Miss Mans- feld arrived In Singapore recently, the former was indisposed and the latter, who has often been called America's "most beautiful diver had to give an exhibition by herself. Yet even in the absence of Desjardins, who is considered one of the greatest divers the world has ever known,
OUR GUIDE TO THE CINEMAS
"The Prince and the Pauper" (King's Theatre, to-day)—Two more child actors have reached Hollywood. The two latest ones are the Mouch twins, who "steal" this show of 10th century England from their ndult fellow-actors. This film has
been well-produced and contains the right mixture of suspense, thrills and comedy. Errol Flynn, Claude Rains, Henry Stephenson and Barton Mac- Lanc are in support.
"Merry-go-Round of 1038" (Queen's Theatre, lo-day)-Final showings of
we do not have a chance of seeing them perform. But I suppose one gets used to these disappointments here. So many world-famous athletes are allowed to come to Hongkong without something being arranged for them that two more would not make very much difference.
It is on occasions such as this that one wishes aport generally in Heng- kong were better organised.
Comedian Joe E. Brown In "Fit For a King" becomes a mighty power in newsdom, boasting the title of foreign correspondent and falling in love with a princess over there in one of those mythical kingdoms. Above is Joe with his princess, Helen Mack. The film starts its runs at the Alhambra Theatre to-morrow.
