Chaplin, who starts out as a timid young fellow who has become a down-and-out. One day, on the London docks, things begin to happen and he is on a liner bound for Africa Jus a big-game hunter. (Wait till you see it on the screen. Syd. Chaplin in “The Missing Link” —a garner Brothers’ production coming to the Opera House to-night and again tomorrow night. GRAND POSTER BALL. On Tuesday, September 25, it can be confidently expected that the Town Hall, will be packed both upstairs and down on the occasion of the Grand Poster Ball which is being organised by the 1.0.0.F.N.Z. Lodges. Miss A. E. Cornwall and Mr G. D. Smart, the Hon. Organisers, state the response by local firms is beyond expectations, as over sixty Jiave definitely decided to be represented in appropriate poster cos,tume. This in addition to the large number of firms from other parts of New Zealand being represented, guarantees a record poster Grand March timed for 9 p.m. The firms arerepresentatives of all trades, including “Butchers and Bakers and Cordial Makers.” The costumes likewise will be many and varied so a night’s en-' tertainment is assured to non-dancers as well. Williams’ full orchestra (five Instruments) puts “monkey glands” in the shade where a kick is required by, old timers. The programme will be one acceptable to followers of old style and modern. Supper- arrangements are in the hands of the Ladies’ Social Committee of the Golden West Lodge. A strong committee are arranging suitably to decorate the hall in a unique manner, the usual flags being replaced by specially prepared posters of advertising matter. Half the profits of the ball will be handed over to the Plunket Society. The organisers are therefore making special efforts to make the Ball a function to be remembered. '
