ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE “Three-Cornered Moon” showing finally to-night at the Majestic Theatre, concerns the members of the Rimplegar family. Their antics, when in their irresponsible way, they try to adapt themslves toi a “new” way of living, because all their fortune was lost in the depression, furnish an hour of hearty laughs and excellent screen entertainment. Following a warm reception from trade press critics, the English national press bestowed the most enthusiastic praise on the production, adjudging it the “film of the year.” The “Ramplegars” are voted by the “Evening News” (London), the “most joyous comedy creation for remarkably good film. It is so smoothly done that you will forget the talent behind the effort. Claudette Colbert deserves a paragraph to herself.” Also on the programme is the screen version of Zane' Grey’s “Rock Mountain Mystery.” SOCIAL EVENING AT HAMPSTEAD In aid of the Hampstead (now Ashburton East) School jubilee fund, a very successful social evening was held in the Hampstead Hall last evening. There was a very large attendance, and the entertainment provided was greatly enjoyed. The programme, arranged by Mr and Mrs H. J- Chapman, was as follows: —Solos, Mr H. J. Chapman, Mr Frank Porter, Mrs J. Childs, Miss Kathleen Beattie and Masters Allan Hunt and Jock McKimmie; violin solos, Master George Spicer; humorous items, Miss Ida Ede and Mr H. J. Chapman.. Community singing was led by Mr Chapman. An interesting competition was won by Misses Nancy Childs and Margaret Rose (equal), the men’s prize going to Master Joe Spicer. The secretary of the entertainment committee (Mr K. S'. McEachen) passed a vote of thanks to the performers. After supper was I served a dance was held, Mrs Chapman supplying the music, and Mr H. , Thompson and Miss J. Macdonald playing extras. Messrs E. Harrison and R. Keeley were M.O.’s. It was announced that the next function would be a dance on August 13. A copper trail benefited the funds to a satisfactory extent. EUCHRE TOURNAMENT. A progressive euchre tournament was held at the Tuarangi Homo in aid of the wireless fund of the Home. The prize-winners were Mrs J. E. Paterson and Mr J. K. Mather. Supper was served.
