225 DECEMBER 5th. A display of conjuring tricks was given by Chung Loo, the usual type of party conjuror, and his tricks were simple rather than clever and puzzling mysteries. DECEMBER 12th. A series of short films of the type seen at any cinema were shown, and were on the whole a success, but it must be realised that the contrast between amateur cinemas and the reproduction of sound and film at a super cinema is so great that the intrinsic interest of the film itself will have to be exceptional to atone for the poor quality of sound and screen reproduction, which, unfortunately, seems to be our lot in the Hall. We should like to thank Mr. Corkhill for the great amount of trouble and care he has taken to arrange these Saturday evening entertainments. It is most difficult to know what shows are like merely from advertisements, and we can safely say that for the most part he picked well last term.
