The children rise at 7 a.m. each clay, and aftei breakfast,.as after every meal, the " tooth-brush '.'.' parade—one'of the .mahy practices which helps in the formation of good'; Mield. after Which the, children play on the Spacious grounds of the racecourse. After a-period. sport, an hour is spent in "individual occupation."—a time for writing home or reading books. • ■\After lunch, complete rest for half, an hour is observed.

The location of secret minefields is the captain's real' -work, and ■ while engaged in this hazardous undertaking his launch is bombed and sunk by an unidentified plane. The film is packed with action throughout, and the authenticity.--of. its background makes the involved and exciting story seem all the more probable. A strong supporting programme is also 'shown:;.. "V\ OPERA HO]USE\ "The Invisible Man .'Returns.?'—With Vincent Price in the title role, "The Invisible Man Returns,"-; Which heads the current programme at -the. Opera House, is the tale of a man-who is condemned to die for the murder of his brother. He is made invisible, thereby escapes the death cell, and is free to use the power of his invisibility to baffle, scare'and finally trap the criminals actually responsible for the murder. Price etches an unforgettable character, even though he is invisible throughout the story. Sir Cedrlc Hardwicke shifts to a "heavy" role and gives it his customary polish. Nan Grey is attractive and believable as the Invisible Man's fiancee, John Sutton as a young doctor, and Cecil Kellaway as a Scotland Ya.rd inspector.
