YE OLDE PIRATE SHIPPE

ALTERATIONS FOR THE WINTER j As proof of their endeavours to cater for the comfort and convenience |of patrons, the management of the I Pirate Shippe cabaret at Milford has | just completed alterations and im- ! provements in preparation for the coming winter. j The most noticeable improvements ! are the concreting of a motor drive ‘ right up to the entrance of the cab- ; aret, and the buildings of a j permanent roof over the top ; deck. This roof, which reprej sents a hugh beach umbrella, will re- ! place the present canvas awning and ; thus permit dances to be held on the ; upper deck during the winter evenings. ! Dances are held at the Shippe every Wednesday and Saturday evening, and the Shippe may also be chartered for private or club functions.

Pat Rooney and family have started their first Movietone subject. It is ! entitled "Sweethearts.” and was written by Edgar Allan Woolf. It is being 1 directed by Ben Holmes.
