BETTING IN HOTEL ♦ BARMAN FINED MAGISTRATE'S COMMENT "We don't wish to encourage booknaking in hotels," said Mr. J. L. Stout, 5.M., when imposing a fine of £30 jpon Ernest Browne, a barman, aged 14, who appeared before him in the Magistrate's Court today and pleaded guilty to a charge of bookmaking. Browne, who was employed as a barnan at a city hotel, was acting as agent lor a bookmaker, said DetectiveSergeant W. .McLennan. When an investigation was made, it was found that le had taken 32s 6d in bets yesterday norning, mostly in small sums. Mr. R. E. Pope, counsel for the delendant, said that Browne had no previous convictions of any kind, and acted not so much from motives of personal gain as to oblige customers it the hotel. The evidence showed not jnly that there was no suggestion of mything more .than. acting as agent to >blige customers, but also that he was ;aking only smalM)ets in a very small way. . -'4 When the Magistrate imposed sen;ence, Mr. Pope asked that Browne be allowed time to pay the fine. "He ought to get his principal to pay j i he is acting as agent," said the Magistrate. ■ Mr. Pope: They don't always pay. "Well, they ought to," commented j ;he "Magistrate. ■ j ■.

REPERTORY THEATRE. ■ ' ■:■ ■——_—+. — ; ■ "Anthony and Anna" Tonight. In the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall tonight members of the Wellington Repertory Theatre and theatregoers generally will be given the first of six opportunities of seeing another famous London success, "Anthony and Anna," presented by a specially-select-ed cast of players under the direction of Leo dv Chateau. The cast comprises Lesley Jackson as Anna Perm, Mary Doolan as Lady Cynthia Speedwell, Myles F. E. Wright as Anthony Fair, George Cooper as Jacob Perm, Ernest Le Grove as George the innkeeper, Robert Charlton as Hubert Dunwoody, Alex Peacock a spendthrift from Glasgow, and Maxwell Butterton a modern waiter. Behind the front lines are Mrs. S. G. Tingey with the prompt book, Mrs. A. M. Goulding and Mrs. D. J. Pavies in charge of the properties and furnishings, Mr. G. W. Conroy scenic artist, Mr. G. W. Johnstone stage carpenter, Mr. Arthur Parker, who is in charge of the lighting, and Mr. L. W. Jagger stage manager. "Anthony and Anna" pretends to be nothing more than clean, wholesome comedy. Its purpose is laughter; it is shot through with clever wit and Shavian philosophy. The author is Mr. St. John Ervine, whose play "Robert's Wife" was recently done by this society. The box plans are at the D.I.C. The only matinee performance will be given next Saturday, starting .at 2.15.
