ST. SAVIOUR'S ORPHANAGE.

SALE OF WORK, A sale of -work, which resolved itsoli' into a very pleasant party, was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs Poter Wood (Papanui road), where tho members of Mrs E. J. Cordner's sowing bee offered for sale the beautiful goods made by them during the past few months. A stall, stocked with hand-made goods, such as fancy bags, boxes, trays, d'oyleys, supper-cloths, and children's clothes, did a brisk business, and, at a smaller stall, home-made cakes and sweets found eager buyers. The members of the Bee have gained the reputation of doing excellent hand-work, and that fact- accounted, to somo extent, for the large attendance of buyers in such uninviting weather. The sale resulted in a profit of £52, which will be given to St. Saviour's Orphanage at Shirley. The members of the Sewing Bee are Mesdames E. J. Cordner, Edwin Hay, Douglas Anderson, Hallowes AVood, Frank Graham, A. Leslie Macfarlane, Leslie Averill, A. C. Thomson, George Weston, V. Turnbull, Maurice Grcsson, E. Jennings, Donald Dobson, W.

AMUSEMENTS.

"UNEASY VIRTUE." WITTY COMEDY FOR REGEJNT. "Uneaty Virtue," which will start at tho Regent Theatre on Saturday, is adapted from the story by lfarrsion Owen. It is about a hubbanJ (Bill) who most imprudently proclaims that his wife is "the soul of fidelity." This statement is a deliberate challenge 1o his wife, Dot, who sets out, at a country house-party, to vindicate her charm by accepting an invitation to a tete-a-tete willi Harvey, a notorious flirt. They are interrupted by a burglar, and though Dot manages to escape unseen, the other members of the parly discover that somebody's wife . was with Harvey in the South Room. But whose wife? "Mino" thinks every husband present, and to exonerate the other wives and prove her eligibility, Dot confesses, lint no one bdiovos her. It is not until Bill realises that his "wife regards his trust as an insult, and pretends jealousy that peace and calm aro restored. This clever comedy is acted by such brilliant artists as Fay Compton, Edmund Breou, Francis Lister, Margot Graham, Dodo Watts, and Donald Calthiop. The box plans are at The Bristol. "The Middle "Watch" will he shown for the Jflvt time to-morrow, CRYSTAL PALACE. "BODY AND SOUL." "Body and Soul," the Fox Movietone production which will start on Saturday at the Crystal Palace, is intriguing and is enacted by a very able cast. Charles Farrell portrays the leading character, whilo Elissa Landi, beautiful blonde actreßß from England, makes lier screen debut in tho leading feminine role. Myrna Loy, the film's most famous siren, plays another one of her exotic roles, with Humphrey Bogart giving an able-per-formance as Farrell's comrade. Farrell is a flying officer wlio, against orders, flies with his nervous chum (Watson) when tho latter loses his life iu carrying out an order to destroy a German balloon. Farrell seeks out Watson's friend in Loudon, and meets Watson?* widow. He is fascinated by her, and this is where Landi's art has its opportunity. Both aro accused of spying, but the denouement is that Mrs Watson roveals her identity, and the real spy is Myrna Loy. Tho box plans are at The Bristol. "East Lynne" will conclude its season at the Crystul Pal.ioß to-morro.r evening.. GRAND THEATRE. Tlio big film at. the Grand Theatre Hi is week is "Tho Big Hop," starring Buck Jonos.

As a seaman who saved tho life of a sheik, and who itf rewarded by being mado a sheik himself for 0110 day, ho is very funny.

Starring Anita Graham and Bruco Gordon, it is the dramatic story of n French girl thrown ashore after a ship has been wrecked on tho Goodwin Sands. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. "The Green Goddess," which is making a return visit to Chrlstchurch at Everybody's Theatre this week, 5s one of the few pictures that can be Been for a Becond time and enjoyed. Its screening provides an opportunity for those who- have not so far seen it that should not be missed. One of the most successful of talkio actors, George Arliss, has the leading part, and his characterisation of the Rajah of a remote Indian State is a masterpiece of suavity and malicious wit. As a cat treats a mouse, so ho treats his victims, playing •with them, and watching their reactions. MAJESTIC THEATRE. A good story is cleverly worked out in the picture "Don't Bet on Women," which is showing at the Majestic Theatre this week. It is characterised by good dialogue, is Bprinkled with witticisms, and has a pleasing comic element. The leading parts ore taken by Jeanette Mac Donald and Edmund Lowe. The story concerns--®, handsome man-about-town, who, when he remarks that all women are . bad, is inveigled into n wager with his solicitor that Jie can't kiss the first woman who crosses his path. Considerable embarrassment is caused by the bet 1 . PLAZA THEATRE. N "HELL'S ANGELS." SEASON EXTENEOE.D. It was only to bo expected that, after such a very successful screening at the Theatre Royal, the season of "Hell's Angels" would be extended if it were possible to do so. Despite the weather conditions crowds have thronged the Theatre Royal each night, and many people were disappointed as they wero unable to gain admission. Theso folic and many others will welcome a further opportunity of seeing this wonderful film. The great scenes in the air, tho thrills of it, and the spectacle are worth going a long way to see. It is certain that the seating at the Pla*a will be taxed to capacity whilo "Hell's Angels" is running, and as the season is {or one week only, intending patrons would be wise to make certain of seeing the film by early applications for reservations. A NOVEL COMPETITION. # A very novel competition is being run in connexion with the season of "Hell's Angels" at tho Plaza Theatre. On Saturday, at 12.30 p.m., a Canterbury Aero Club aeroplane will come over Cathedral square, and when it reaches a certain altitude a signal will be given by means of Verey lights.

'A box will be provided at tho theatre for contestants to deposit- their estimates, or these can be posted if desired. The competition is part of the "air-minded" campaign. Should weather conditions prove unsuitable the aeroplane will go up on Monday. EUROPEAN DOCTOIt PRAISES YEAST.

This time, he is an ambitious young clerk in one of a big chain of shoe stores. In this picture Lloyd's activities carry him through moro than a scofo of indoor and outdoor scenes,. some of the most amusing being aboard a trans-Pacific liner.
