ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. Bubbling with elation over a 5000dollar lottery prize, Joe Martin hurries to cash the ticket that will free him from the necessity of dancing at Tony’s and give him the money to live like a gentleman in Havana. His blonde dance-partner, Goldie, and his cynical reporter Flash, accompany him. While Joe waits for his money, lovely, fabulously wealthy Diana Harrison enters with another winning ticket. Joe looks her over appreciatively, but when lie learns that she holds the same number as his —that his ticket is a forgery—he turns on her in rage. Joe blames Diana for the loss of his winnings. This is the start of the story of “Rumba,” featuring George Roft and Carole Lombard, showing finally to-night- at the Majestic Theatre.

CATHOLIC CLUB’S DANCE An enjoyable card party and dance held by the Ashburton Catholic Club last evening was well attended. Card prizes were won by Mrs J. Brown and Mr R. Dalton, and the winners of the Monte Carlo were Miss P. McSherry and partner. Mr T. Mcodie and Miss M. Owen won the lucky spot. Music was supplied by Dabourn’s orchestra, with extras by Miss M. Willers and Mill. Flatman. Mr B. McSherry was M.C. METHODIST CHOIR SOCIAL. The financial result of the social conducted last evening by the Baring Square Methodist Church choir in aid of its stall at the forthcoming fair was very satisfactory, there being a large attendance. Games and competitions occupied the evening, Mr W. Corbett being in charge of the programme. Mr E. Coker contributed a vocal solo, and Miss L. Acton and Mr W. Corbett sang a duet. Members of the choir presented a half-hour’s entertainment. At the conclusion Mr W. Higgins expressed the choir’s appreciation of the support accorded its effort.
