Sinapore Joe Fisher is a showman extraordinary, traveler, a cultured and genial raconteur, of the charms of Singapore and all Malaya. He popper into town the other day, on one of his periodic visits looking natty and neat in one of those white tropical suits which somehow (unlike most in these parts) kept its neatness an¢ its whiteness. It was the fabulous Sultan of Johore, Malayan ruler, who dubbed him “Singapore Joe.” His Highness, once a visitor in Hol- lywood, did the dubbing characteristically. To a friend who for years had been known simply as Mr. Joe Fisher, His Highness presented (wrapped in old newspapers) a package which he said contained a supply of biscuits. Mr. Joe Fisher suspected a gag, tossed the package into his car, opened it somewhat later as an afterthought, and found a heavy gold cigarette case, mounted with platinum and precious stones, and inscribed to “Singapore Joe.” Everyone in Hollywood knows Singapore Joe. a world an ex-office salesman Singapore Joe runs the showplace of the Straits Settlements —the Capitol Theatre. It's a magnicient building, with shops and bars, besides movie facilities, and to hear Joe tell about it is to resolve to see a movie there some day. It has 1,600 seats, with two arm rests for each seat, and plenty of leg room It has a movable ceiling (for warm nights), besides air con- ditioning; it has attendants who serve drinks, and convenient bars for the intermissions. Attendants take your car to the park- PERCY’S CAFE @ sTOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakifast, Dinner or Light Lun ® DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN SERVICE ® REFRESHMENTS ing lot (free) and clean it for you (free; t00.) - From any seat you get a clear, unobstructed, undistorted view of the screen. Principal effect of the war, to date, has been to incregse the European population, usually abput 12,000 but now, thanks to coldiery, much greater. In this cosmopolitan center, the paying customers (excluding the Germans now in internment camps) present a cross-section of world taste in films — and Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller's, no substitutes acepted) is Hero No. 1. The last Tarzan epic took in $30,000 in ceven days, whereas “Gone With the Wind" hit only £40,000 in 21 days. Deanna Durbin’s popularity grows from pic- ture to picture, and Jeanette MacDonald is a high favorite, The audience, preponderantly native, craves action first, scorns superimposed titles and “dubbed” dialogue, follows English dialogue easily through watching the film's action. . “And how they can smell a good picture!” beams Singapore “And how the word spreads!” Just how this word-of-mouth carries weight he illustrates by the story of a hotel employee who had trouble at his job— and six hours later, over a territory of 700 miles, “sympathy strikes” were brewing. All this, minus telephone or telegraph communication, for these were checked and no messages recorded!
