Charlie Chaplin, in the flesh, will be in Hongkong next March, accompanied by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Efforts will also be made to induce D. W. Griffith to join the party. This news was given yesterday by Mr. George Mooser, a well-known play producer and film manager. He is the…
Several hundred foreigners and Japanese at the Kamakura Gekijo were disappointed recently when the local police entered the theatre shortly before the showing of 'Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood' and issued an injunction against the film, reports the Japan Advertiser. The police…

Today at 2.15, 5.15 and 9.15, the golden age of chivalry, jousting knights, fair women, the departure to the crusades all are showing in 'Robin Hood,' the picture all Hongkong is talking about.
It is safe to say that no film shown in Hongkong this season has caused so much favourable comment as 'Robin Hood,' at the Coronet. Douglas Fairbanks, as the outlaw, has a part in which his athletic ability gets plenty of scope, but he is sufficiently restrained not to spoil the really…
Hongkong residents are reminded that 'Robin Hood,' the historical drama in which Douglas Fairbanks has created something entirely new to the cinema world, will remain at the Coronet only three days longer, and must be withdrawn after Monday's night performance. Educational…
