"VICTORY" BAZAAR AT LOWER HUTT

Attractive decorations are a distinctive feature of the "Victory" bazaar, organised by the Lower Hutt section of the Salvation Army, and held in the Army Hall in Laing's Road yesterday and today as a special effort for funds to meet the increased need for help in wartime. On the platform for the opening yesterday were Mrs. J. W. Andrews, who was welcomed by Mrs. C. Gray and opened the bazaar, Brigadier C. Gray, who outlined its purpose, and Captain and Mrs. P. L. Smith, who received the guests. Recitations were later contributed by Misses Beyerley Mouat and Joy McCallum, and songs by Mrs. W. Triplow, who was accompanied by Mrs. Andrews. Short, and original programmes of entertainment were given this afternoon and will be. presented again tonight.

KING'S THEATRE,

Harmless little Topper runs into a.ore trouble than ever in the iatest ol this series ol pictures,. 'Topper Relurns,' which is continuing at the Kings Theatre.

Roland Young plays the name part, and this time the shadowy damsel in distress is Joan Blondeli The whole scene lakes place in" a sinister-house where everything that isn't supposed to opens and shuts with weird regularity.
