Dulcy's chauffeur had been with her a long, long time and, be- sides, he admitted being "kinda eccentric" traself-so he didn't bot an eye when he saw kis mis- tress approaching the car with what looked like a bl Chinese dott in her arms. The young man with her didn't have "lant eyes" --so he couldn't be the youngster's pop.

"His name is Kuh Too Chew... Can you speak Chinese, Tom?", Duley babbled on.

"Sure!

"Wint does his name mean, Tom -Kul Too Chew'?" Dulcy naked. "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 itindly help bridged the gap of strangeness belween Gor- don Daly, bachelor, and the wall 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 pal the next time Duley saw him. Neither he nor Gordon found the pretty lady hard to take despite the fact that Dulcy had some rather strange ideas about dress- ing him, such as a complete Scot tish ensemble, including kilts and -strentnerei-cap.-

The motion picture, "Dulcy, comes to Hongkong next week. Adapted from the famous comedy' by George S. Kaufman. and Mare 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 compler of always trying to "help" people, with exciting and embarrassing results. Dulcy 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 micels Gordon Daly. (Ian Hunter), who has come to claim a ittle 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.

Muscovites Fight Raid Fires Effectively

(By "Reuter's" Special Correspondent)

MOSCOW, July, 23.-The second aerial attack lacked novelty and thrill for Moscow inhabitants although it came at the height of the great city's night life. Earlier in the evening, there was a skort alarm, without the appearance of enemy bombers, and while sirens wore still wailing-the second alert, anti-aircraft guns opened fire, continuing until dawn.
