TWO-FACED PHOTOGRAPHY UNMASKS THE FAMOUS ·

Phrenologists have been putting two and two together. At the Kingsway Hall recently the Phrenological Society showed lantern slide pictures of the illustrious-

Unretouched pictures, but each a face made with the left side duplicated on the right, or the right side duplicated on the left.

Most remarkable were the pictures of Goebbels. One pair gave him a depraved face; the other pair made him look like a saint.

Explanation of this experiment, given by Mr. E. W. Cousins, the Society's president, is that "the left side of the face reveals the conscious and the right side the unconscious content of the mind."

Heads and faces, Mr. Cousins de clared, were just as accurate guides! to Identity as Ainger-prints. Phreno- had examined milions of logists heads and never found two alike.

Here are some of the "head por- traits" given by Mr. Cousins from photographs shown on the screen:

Chinese Opium Gang In London Ship

Mr. Stanley Thompson, manager of the Silver Line, of Bishopsgate, London, told recently how a gang of Chinese snugglers who hid eleven sacks, the Silveryew, entering New York, may cost the company a fine of £29,000.

boatswain, Tsin Ho, has been detained on a charge of smug- gling.

The captain of the ship, Captain William Irvine, of Sunderland, the fret mate, and the chief engineer were questioned by Customs officials, but later released.

PROVINCIAL SNOBBERY IS ONE OF THE BIG OBSTACLES TO THE REVIVAL OF THE THEATRE IN BRITAIN. THIS IS THE OPINION OF MR. J. B. PRIESTLEY, WHO WITH TWỌ PLAYS NOW RUNNING IN LONDON AND OTHERS BEING ACTED ABROAD IS MAKING THIS A "PRIESTLEY SEASON."

"The time is ripe now for creating a new interest in the theatre," he said.

"Provincial snobs, who will go to see plays only when the cast contains big West End names, are the enemics of the movement.
