WORK SOLD FOR COMFORTS FUND '

The result of weeks of hard work was shown in a creditable display, of articles at a recent meeting of the Waiwetu Townswomen's Guild, when a sale of work was held to benefit.the soldiers' comforts fund. Miss Lpncaster gave a travel talk, describing a visit to the Orient, and an amusing sketch by Mesdames Woodrow and Travis was also much enjoyed.

STATE THEATRE. The double-feature programme at the State Theatre this week is headed by that well-known film "Song of My Heart,"* made by Twentieth Century-Fox, with John McCormack as the star. The magnificent tenor voice of McCormack made the picture the success it was when first shown, and for the same reason its present popularity is just as great. McCormack sings nearly a dozen. of the appealing songs of Ireland, which are introduced naturally into a pictorial background suitable to the melodies. Maureen O'Sullivan, Alice Joyce, and John Garrick are the supporting stars, and their work contributes materially to the success of the film. The other feature film is of an entirely different type. Entitled "Jennie," it stars Virginia Gilmore and George Montgomery, and tells a homely story of the domestic battles and ultimate victory of a gallant woman. KING'S THEATRE. Illuminating—and a little disturbing —is "So Ends Our Night," at the King's Theatre, a story of lives wrecked by officialdom, of people to whom the most wonderful thing on earth would be the scrap of paper called a passport. This production, the screen version of "Flotsam," by Erich Maria Remarque, is remarkable, not merely for the Nazi brutality that is in the background by implication, , but for the superb acting of the whole cast which is headed by Fredric March and Margaret Sullavan. .' PLAZA THEATRE. The Plaza Theatre will show "Gasbags" finally tonight. Opening tomorrow is "Missing Ten Days," Rex Harrison's first picture since s 'Major Barbara." This is another picture with the war as a theme, but-it could hardly be classed as propaganda. It is just a good story set in wartime situations. Rex Harrison plays the part of a man who has been missing for so long that his friends and superior officers have given up hope of seeing him again. But he-returns unexpectedly, and quickly sets to work to deal with a spy plot in the manner, of the best film heroes. i TUDOR THEATRE.
