The Vitagraph Company of America is sending around the world a company of highly skilled cinematograph actors, and these are now staying in Hongkong. Mr. Maurice Costello stated that they would travel around the world, posing to the camera in various plays and taking their scene and background from the neighbourhood. They went to Japan already. Mr. Costello hopes to get three picture stories as well as Chinese New Year scenes when they are in Hong Kong. They will also go to Singapore, India, and Egypt. He hopes further to get good scenes in England and Ireland. All these pictures will be copyright and the property of Mr. Costello and Mr. W. V. Ranous of the Vitagraph Company. Mr. Costello was in the film 'A Tale of Two Cities,' which was projected at the Victoria Theatre before. And he is an ardent advocate for clean, healthy displays.
