THE GRAND

The large number who attended the Grand. Theatre last evening to hear Miss Louise Mack, £he well-known lecturer, were keenly disappointed, for shedid not appear. The reason is not known, but yesterday's Dominion contained the following statement: "Advice was - received in Wellington laai evening that l considerable concern wafc. being felt in'Otaki for the safety of Msftj Louise Mack, who, it was feared, had lost herselfjn the Tararua ranges. It. is stated thatlVliss Mack, who has beenspending a holiday at a seaside resort, at Otaki, left a few days ago as oneoorf r a party bent on crossing the Tararuas. Bad weather was encountered at the topof Mount Holdsworth, and all of the* party, with the exception of Miss Mack, returned. Miss Mack is said to have remained in the hut at Mount Holdsworth, and then continued her journey: alone, and fears are entertained for hersafety." However, the management, submitted a very fine picture programme, the. great story, wLest We Forget," being followed with keen interest. The battle scenes, the realistic views of the Germans' criminal methods; in dealing with prisoners, the-sinking; of the Lusitania, the Zeppelin raid on London, in which so many school children were killed, and the deportations were all clearly shown in all their awful-' ness, and there is every reason; that the* world should not forget. The picture is wes worth seeing, and should'attract a large crowd this evening.
