PHYSICAL CULTURE DISPLAY

At His Majesty's Theatre to-night Mr J V. Hanna will stage a physical culture display by over 300 pupils of his Dunedin School of Physical Culture. All the items are completely new, and many of them being shown in Dunedin tor the fiist time. It is a feature that, throughout the programme, as much attention is paid tp the development of mental control as there is to physical control—coordination of mind and body being one of the important principles of Mr Hanna s School. The varied programme includes dancing, fencing, wand-drill, men's statuary, tap ballets, maypole, pyramids, Danish postural work, club swinging, and advanced work on the horizontal and parallel bars. Vocal and instrumental numbers will be performed by weli-known artists, and incidental music will be supplied by an orchestra of nine players under the leadership of Mr G. Raffils.

An outcry has been raised in Verdun by the discovery that war' souvenirs sold to visitors are stamped " Made in Germany." Some of them represent the most revered monuments of the war, but what has aroused most indignation is that many are in the worst possible taste, and even obscene. The arms of the town and pictures of the monuments to the dead appear on some of these obscene souvenirs, with the inscription. " Made in Germany."
