The chairman stated that following an examination of the Manutahi Hotel members of the committee were satisfied with the arrangements effected and had decided to withdraw a previouslymade requisition for alterations to the hotel. OPERA ROUSE ENTERTAINMENT. “NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.” With an excellent cast and a most unusual plot providing exciting situations from start to finish, “Nothing But the Truth,” featuring Richard Dix, at the Hawera Opera House last night, was a pronounced success. Truth as a means of producing trouble and situations of a most surprisingly complicated nature is shown in an entirely new light, and the house could not but roar with laughter at the tangles produced. The story is a new one, and the plot extremely well carried out. Robert Bennett, the junior partner m a brokerage firm, is in love with the senior partner’s daughter, Gwen, who has to raise £BOOO for a charity project. Having only £2OOO, she is promised by her father that, if she will double that amount, he will double the £4OOO. Bennett is given the £2OOO by her to “play” on the market so that it will yield a profit of £2OOO. Later, he and some cronies arc discussing truthfulness, and Bennett wagers the £2OOO | for a like amount that he can tell the truth for 24 hours. The terms of the bet arc that the truth must be given to every question, put to him from 4 p.m. tha J afternoon until 4 p.m. the following day. The story proceeds with the doings at a night club, the wiles of a pair of dancing sisters both at th© club and at ■ the senior partner’s house. Bennett’s truthfulness, enforced as the result of his bet, caused untold consternation, but he wins out, both iu love and money. , | The picture will be shown again this <
