big Chinese doll in her arms. The young mon with her didn't have "slant cyca" so he couldn't be the youngster's pop.

"His name is Kuh Too Chew... Can you speak Chinese, Tom?". Dulcy babbled on.
"Sure! I used to be a Marine," the obliging servant answered. He'd long since learned to humour his mistress-and he did manage to gargle a few words he'd pleked up during the Boxer Rebellion. There must have been some sense to them for Kub Too Chew gargled something back.
"What does his name mean, Tom -Kuh Too Chew?" Duley asked. "Sounds like a sneeze to me, miss," the chauffeur contributed.
"A sneeze? Why It does! Let's call him 'Sneezy', for short." This last remark was addressed to the bewildered foster father.
Duley's kindly help bridged the gap of strangeness between Gor- don Daly, bachelor, and the waif who had lost parents, home, coun- try, customs, and traditions in a tragedy he was too young to un- derstand. He was his foster father's pai the next time Dulcy saw him. Neither he nor Gordon found the pretty lady hard to take despite the fact that Duley had some rather strange Ideas about dress- ing him, such as a complete Scot- tish ensemble, including kilts and streamored cap.

It was a curious conglomeration of wheels, rods, and wires on Gor- don's work bench that threw Dulcy's "let-me-help-you" complex really into high. All she needed to know was that it was a new and revolutionary type of aeroplane motor which Sneezy's foster

The motion picture, "Duley," comes to Hongkong next week. Adapted from the famous comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, two of America's best known playwrights, it tells of the misadventures of a pretty young girl whose heart is where her brain should be" and who has a complex of always trying to "help" people, with exciting and embarrasing results. Duley Ward lives with her brother Bill (Dan Dailey, Jr.) who is going to marry Angela Forbes (Lynne Carver) when the objections of her father C. Roger Forbes (Roland Young) have been overcome. On the pier where she has gone to meet the Forbeses, including the mother (Billie Burke), Dulcy quite accidentally meets Gordon Daly (Ian Hunter) who has come to claim'a little Chinese boy that he has agreed to adopt. Dulcy forgets every- thing else in this new "helping" campaign which involves Gordon and the Chinese orphan.

"Maybe

"Oh, but that's nonsense," ma- chine-gunned Little Miss Fix-it. "My brother's practically married to the Forbes Aeroplane Company, and-well-what I mean is..
"Forbes Acropianet" interrupted Gordon. ."Why, that's the first place I took it. I couldn't get by the front door. I'd give anything for ten minutes with old man Forbes!"

On no human Ince trans- formed by a spiritual "vision" had there ever been a more rapt ex- pression than that on Duley's as she uttered these fateful words and raced along mentally to fill In the details of a plan which had been born just a second be- fore!
"Live with him?" mumbled the stupefled Gordon.
"Now, don't say another word... I'll take care of everything," Duley called back over her shoulder as she fairly raced for the door..
Receptionists, telephone opera- tors,secretaries, et al, in Bill Ward's advertising agency offices were rated in efficiency
on the basis of how well they protected their bass from the chaos and con- fusion Dulcy created every time she visited the establislumment.
Loose that afternoon with her splendid new idea to help Gordon Daly and revolutionise the aero- plane business, Dulcy had barged past everybody and right up the door of Bill's private office before she was stopped.

"But he's got to be disturbed- it's a matter of life and death," declared Duley as she jiggled the doorknob. The door, electrically controlled, refused to open.
Inside Bill was addressing half a dozen important clients. Not only he but everybody else Was dis- tracted by the noise at the door. BI finally broke down and pelul- antly jerked it open.

Bill's stage-whisper answer would have done credit to Richard Mans- field. "Can't you see I'm all tied up," he barked as he fairly shoved her out of the office.
She was back again in a minute when she crowded in behind a stenographer Bill had summoned. "Get out of here, Dulcy and slay out" Bill shouted,
"I can't and won't, Dill — not until I've spoken to you a minute," Dulcy stubbornly insisted.
