Details of a picture treat for children of parents who cannot afford to pay for film entertainment has been arranged by the Gisborne Rotary Club in association with the management ot the King s Theatre, in connection with the showing of a Shirley Temple film this week at the King's. Kotariau H. I‘. I'orstcr stated at to-day’s luncheon that Mr. J. M. Downey had agreed to make 2CO seats available free of charge at a special matinee on Wednesday afternoon after the usual afternoon performance, and it was proposed that the children of the Hcni Materoa Home and a sufficient number of others to fill the balance of the seals available, should be picked tip and delivered to the theatre by Botarian carowners, who later would transport their respective charges homeward again. The idea, had been successfully put into practice in other centres, Botarian Forster slated, and offered the chance of a little community work which would give satisfaction to the children, their parents, and to those who assisted in carrying it out. i When the president, asked for members j of the club to nut their cars at the disposal of tlio directors for the occasion, ! the response was highly satisfactory.
