Patrons of the Star will have the opportunity of seeing Douglas Fairbanks in his lighter vein, as distinct from the big productions he has made recently when 'When the Clouds Roll By' is presented in Kowloon. The story of this picture is an unusually amazing one. The film is an…
The hero of George Barr McCutcheon's romantic novel, 'The Prisoner,' formerly titled 'Castle Craneycrow,' felt about as much for the girl's new solitaire as the prizefight manager in H. C. Witwer's 'The Leather Pushers,' who regarded engagement…
This evening the chief attraction is a fine open-air Western film called 'The Ramblin' Kid,' in which that engaging young cowboy Hoot Gibson plays the leading role as a restless soul ever seeking adventures. Coupled with 'The Rambling Kid' is another picture called…
Kowloon cinema-goers will be delighted to learn that Douglas Fairbanks' masterpiece, 'Robin Hood,' will start a brief season in the Star Theatre from this evening. This picture has been shown in the Colony before, but so wonderful is it in every aspect that another cordial…
The biggest picture bargain in the Colony.' That is how the Star Theatre describes its 'Robin Hood' programme being shown for the last time this evening. 'Robin Hood' is by common assent one of the greatest films that has yet been made, and anyone who has not yet seen it…
Only a Shop Girl,' the new film which comes to the Star Theatre this evening as the feature attraction for the next few days, is a good old fashioned drama adapted from a stage success 25 years ago. 'Only a Shop Girl' is perfect in every detail. Specially good is the scene in the…
Ethel Clayton, Paramount star, displays not only marked emotional talent as an actress, but also proves a delightful dancer in her latest big picture, 'A City Sparrow,' which opens at the Star Theatre this evening. Film synopsis included. The story is one of the sweetest ever told and…
Ethel Clayton's excellent Paramount film, 'A City Sparrow,' will be screened in that Star Theatre for the last time this evening. The story, which is woven around the life of a vaudeville dancer, provides some charming contrasts in pathos and humour. Ethel Clayton is supported by…
Following on Charlie Chaplin in 'Behind the Screen,' the Star Theatre is featuring Chaplin in perhaps his greatest picture – a picture made famous in that it shows Jackie Coogan, who was one of Charlie's 'discoveries.' 'The Kid' has a human element in it, but…
Wallace Beery as Richard, makes the lion-hearted king a lovable character, prone to doubt and to act on those doubts on the instant. The story shows us the King in the midst of his crusade and we have scenes that at once capture the imagination. As a sequel to another great picture – Robin Hood…
Between Christmas and the Chinese New Year, it is appropriate that the Coronet should screen two pictures featuring the Carnival spirit – the 'Merry-Go-Round' and 'Rosita.' It was quite apparent from its reception on Sunday that it would attract more than the average cinema…
Patrons of the Star Theatre are promised a treat for tonight, for in addition to 'Smouldering Fires,' with Pauline Frederick in the leading role, Tod Sanbord, the famous xylophonist will appear in syncopated jazz.
Kowloon audiences are notably quick to appreciate any divergence from the usual in their amusement programmes. Mr. Tod Sanborn was billed to perform. He is a musician whose medium is that difficult, i.e., xylophone. Last night's programme included the Sextette from Lucia de Lammermoor.…
Mr. Tod Sanborn, with his xylophone, delighted another appreciative audience at the Star Theatre last night. Smouldering Fires, with Pauline Frederick in the leading role, together with a comedy and the usual Gazette, completed one of the best programmes seen at the Star.
