The lire engine must have •travelled at close ou 60 miles per hour when responding to a cull to an outbreak which Wat, discovered in the residence of Mr E. Potite.r, in the vicinity of the Domain. With the siren sounding continuously, the speed at which the engine ‘travelled through the business centre of the town caused quite a •stir. From the moment the alarm was sounded, no time wa s lost, ami the promptness with which the call was answered was the subject, of favourable comment by many who deserted the shops to” watch ’.lie brigadesmen in harness, A line of hose wa s smartly run out, but happily its services were not, required. It was disclovcred thart, the on 1 -break 'wias confined to some limber near the chimney, ami with the aid of the patent extinguish er and a couple of buckets of water the conflagration was quickly got under control.

Morgan’s Pictures WESTPORT. “Curly Top” is Shirley Temple’s latest starring attraction at the New Victoria Theatre at the matinee today and to-night. So full of song and laughter there’s no room for tears. Mere is Shirley as she really is, in a story of happiness and song, of glorious romance and dancing, of dreams come true, to keep one in the seventh heaven of delight. There arc five great melodies by Ray Henderson. Shirley and John Boles anj Rochelle Hudson all sing, aud Shirley dances, too. She captures one completely as she introduces her educated pony and trained duck. It is approved for universal,, exhibition. Supports include News Reels, Terrytoon and 2-reei comedy. The wise ones will reserve seats at Morgan’s for this great picture. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. Thrills anj baffling mystery are featured in the Paramount picture “The Clock Strikes B,’’ at the New Victoria Theatre on Monday and Tuesday nights. Arlinc Judge, Kent Taylor, Wendy Barrie, William Frawley, Benny Baker and William Benedict arc the stars. A crafty murderer—unknown — rubs shoulders with panic-stricken college '.students, striking each time in a different iiabolical fashion at the helpless victims of his revenge. It is reeojnmended by the censor for adults, and has excellent supports.
