Royal Theatre. Dargaville, last Friday evening. The func—tion was organised and run by the. Jazzaramba Dance Band to support the candidature of Miss TVai-ataJi ‘fi'akelin in the North Auckland Regimental Band's Queen Carnival.

The stage was set off as a drawing room, which made a. suitable orchestral stand. The committee responsible for the evening wasz—Blessrs. S. Brown, C'. Antonelli. L. Houghton, D. 0. Rush and R. J. Cassidy.
