... Paul Holt NOW that the Sunday newspapers have taken up the subject of flying saucers I think the time has come for the truth to be told. It is certainly true, as one Sunday writer has said, that flying saucers are emissaries from another world, coming to have a look-see (and indeed it is a shame we should all be behaving, so badly on their initial visits) But when Mr. Gerald Heard, in the ...

... QUEEN JULIANA'S State visit to London towards the end of this month is an occasion which appears to lack a precedent. No reigning monarch of the Netherlands has ever paid us a State visit, although both Queen Juliana and her mother enjoyed British hospitality for four years from 1940 onwards, and sprightly Prince Bernhard seems to be here every other week or so. One is apt to forget so ancient ...

... Frvda Miritrt* L,ovIiiturt WHO killed Cock Robin? I, said the screenwriter, with my typewriter. I, said the director from my labelled deck- chair, I killed the picture.

... AkrJfai C. Frtnlit iSruct* Lzockhart FRENCH film-makers have never made the mistake of treating the film industry as a recording factory for canned plays and potted novels. Part of what distinguishes French from Anglo-American films is their very readiness to treat the cinema as a decora tive rather than a literary art. I his is not to suggest that r rench studios are burgeoning with creative ...

... Oliver Stewart A FALSE moustache, as one can see now that it is too late, would have been of value while the Motor Show was in progress. For friends were the chief obstacle to a thorough study of the ex hibits. Statistics prove that, of the total time spent at Earl's Court by visitors to the Show, 4 per cent. was devoted to moving from stand to stand, 6 per cent, in obtaining refreshments, 5 ...

... Paul Holt THE managers of the race-courses of Britain have come to the end of the flat season of 1950 with a look of pained surprise on their cheerful faces. Attendances are 10 per cent, down on 1949. This isn't disaster, of course. But it is danger. For it means that they will either have to offer their shareholders less or reduce the prize money. And you know what shareholders are like. But ...
