AN OPEN LETTER!!

Dear Patrona ;

The studios of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer were dolugod with a flood of letters from the world over to revive their magnificent production entitled SKILIN' THROUGH, and in response to this world demand, they ra-issued tho production. It is now our privilege and pleasure to re- soreen this picture in Hongkong, and we have specifically set aside the playdates September 8-0 for the purpose.

A great pioturs is like a great book. A great book can be read more than ones and enjoyed, and the sams thing applies to a great plature, SKILIN' THROUGH can be seen more than once, and each time its beauty and artistry make a more vivid impression,

NORMA SHEAKER has always considered this picture as one of her finest, SMILIN' THROUGH' is ageless--it bo- longs to no period of time--its beautifully expressed tenderness and devotion of sweethearts will never be dimmod within the memory of any theatro goor. In short--it is à

screen classio.

You will enjoy seeing SHILIN' THROUGff once again, and may,we repeat that the picture will play at the King's Theatre on September 8-9.

We appreciate and thank you for your past patron- ago, and we hope that we may have the pleasure of your attendance at SMILIN' THROUGH,
