CRYSTAL PALACE.

An excellent film showing at the Crystal Palace Theatre this week is "Telling the World." The locale of the story ranges from happy-go-lucky New York to the ■ stirring and turbulent battlefields of revolutionary China. But the predominant theme is humour and no more accomplished humorist could be found to fill the role of the amazingly self-assured young reporter than Billy Haines. His colossal "cheek" is astounding, and. throughout a story which is vibrant with pep and nerve he does everything in.a most unorthodox way—a way peculiarly his own. If Billy Haines anything, he takes it for granted that he will get it, and he is usually right. . William Haines gives a delightfully refreshing rendering of a part well suited to him, and he keeps the fun going strong from start to finish. Anita Page is a new character on the screen, ..and her reputation is assuredly made by her fine exposition of this vivacious and yet often dramatic role. Polly Moran also has a most amusing part, but the camera is practically monopolisod by the acting of the two principals. "Honour Bound" is a story of intense dramatic force, featuring George- O'Brien and Estelle Taylor. A further film of the very fine Music Masters series .and a topical gazette complete the, bill.
