GENERAL ITEMS. ‘ Weight, weight,” shouted the man in the middle of a football scrummage at Toko yesterday afternoon. Suddenly the ball came out and an opponent kicked well down the field. “Garn, you waited too long,” screamed a fair barracker on the side-line. After playing a fine game for Toko, in which he scored a particularly good try, Arthur Chapman sustained a broken collarbone in the junior Rugby game against Tariki. He was immediately conveyed to Stratford and received medical attention. Toko has now lost its two best forwards, Corbett having injured his knee during the game on the previous Thursday. Notification has been received by the Stratford Borough Council from Mr. W. J. Polson, M.P., that the Minister of Public Works has agreed to a grant up to £430 as subsidy at the rate of £2 for £1 for relief work within the borough. ■ Dr. Annett, the well known Waikato authority on grass - land farming, spent yesterday afternoon in company with Mr. J. M. Smith and Mr. E. Marfell (chairman and member of the executive, respectively) inspecting the Stratford Model Farm. The visitor was very favourably impressed with the nature of the work being carried out at the farm and devoted some time to studying the comprehensive pasture, grass and fertiliser experiments, designed by Mr. Bruee Levy, now nearing the closing stages of the two yeans’ experiment. A sale of old clothes, cake, sweets, produce and work will be held to-morrow in the shop lately occupied by the Melbourne, Broadway. KING’S THEATRE PROGRAMME. THE “BROADWAY” SUCCESS. Life flows swiftly onward in the canyons of Broadway. Whirlpools of pleasure, back-eddying into swirls of sorrow; cascades of gaiety, sometimes falling in broken torrents upon the rocks below; but always Broadway, the street where there is a flame for every moth and music for all who can keep step with the tune. An atmosphere as distinctive, as impossible of duplication as.it is fascinating; a world ablaze with a brilliancy supremely its own. Here the candle burns constantly at both ends—burns, and is never consumed. Such is the unique and compelling “personality” of the Great White Way, and such is the subtly piquant, yet tremendously dramatic appeal “Broadway," Universal's dynamic superproduction of life among the bright lights, which comes to the King’s Theatre for the last time to-night. Glenn Tryon, Evelyn Brent, Merna Kennedy and many other stellar players fill the principal roles. IWI■HUM, » TM
