Summary
(To the Editor of the 'Hongkong Telegraph') J. McCabe rose voice against poor performances and film presentation at Hongkong Theatres. It is a high time for the public to protest against such poor presentations in the guise of masterpieces. The newspaper boasted a lot about the Paramount production 'The Sheik.'

Some ways must be devised to protect the general public from such absurd boasts. Before endorsing any film, the papers should send their representatives to watch and then make fair comments upon it.
