Foxton Talkies

The biggest sensation in the talkie world to-day, Mae West, will be seen at the Foxton Town Hall to-night in "I'm No Angel,” the headline picture being presented at the head of the special race night programme, "I'm No Angel” is all Mae West’s picture. She wrote the script, helped write the music and assisted in casting. The story tells of the life and loves of the mfllion-dollar beauty who is everything from a carnival dancer to a lion tamer in a big-time circus. Short subjects on to-night’s programme are “The March of the Champions” (sportlight), “Bluw Me Down” (cartoon), “Screen Souvenirs, ' British news and “Going to Blazes” (cartoon). The following are the coining attractions alt the Foxton Town Hall:—September 26, "To the Last Man”; September 23 arid'29, “Ticket Iri Tats”; October 3, “Love's Old Sweet Song”; October 5 and 5, VCuckoo in the Nest”; October 30, “CoioneL Blood”; October 12 and 13, “George White’s Scandals'.”

One of the most remarkable features of the 193-I Ideal Homes Exhibition in London is the “Crazy House” designed by the famous artist, Mr. Heath Robinson. It is populated with 30 quaint figures who perform all sorts of amusing duties.

In the garden Sandy Willie directs tho nozzle of the weed-killer on to the thistles, while Jake tho garden boy pulls the string that works the bellows that pump the poison that makes the thistles whistle.

And Mr. Welwyn Sprozzle, tho sunbather on the wash-house roof, pulls the string that makes his sunshade twirl, the chauffeur bends and pulls at tho starting handle of his Super-quaint .1931 Some-thing-or-otber saloon car, and Harold, sitting in a chair tied ou the lawnmowcr, pedals on his roundabout trail, with an old wooden bucket for a grass-box and an old bass broom to sweep behind. v It is a cheerful fact that people have the humour to create such fantastic things in times like these. Another cheerful fact is that you can go to r.ny tobacconist and get Red Shield (Dark) and Blue Shield (Mcdium)for only 1/7 2-oz. tin. These tobaccos are New Zealand’s best—“toasted to a turn” to make them perfectly smootn, cool, and satisfying. Also hi economical l ib. .canisters. 7 ' " :
