...extent that the latter have cancelled a farewell reception planned in the King's honor on his departure from Cairo. It seems that the conduct of King Amanullah during his visit to Cairo was not acceptable to them, and the cause of controversy seems to be the royal headgear. It is not that the King has overstepped the prerogatives of his crown, but rather that he has slighted them, and by so doing has injured their prestige. For the Ulemas are deseribed as religious leaders among the Moslems, and their sense of the fitness of things has been rudely jarred...

Simultaneous with his return* to the U. S., Michael Arlen's agents last week announced that his novel and play of 1924-25, The Green Hat, are to have a third incarnation, as cinema, perhaps with Norma Talmadge.
