All the items were thoroughly enjoyed by the large and enthusiastic audience, and the school committee will benefit considerably by the entertainment. At the conclusion of the concert Mr. A. Winter, chairman of the school committee, briefly thanked the visitors for assisting with the concert. Thanks also were due to Mrs. and Miss Young for their assistance with the children.

No little of the pleasure received from “Montana Moon,” Joan Crawford’s musical romance for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer playing at the King's Theatre, lies in its musical numbers, the work of Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed, Herbert Stothart and Clifford Grey. Among the numbers sung by Miss Crawford, Brown, Cliff Edwards, and a cowboy chorus of 50 voices are, “Sing a Song of Old Montana,” “Happy Cowboy,” “The Moon is Low,” “Trailin’in Old Montana,” and “Montana Call.” Miss Crawford, as the daughter of a wealthy ranch owner, combines her well-known “modern youth’ manner with a more mature feeling not revealed in previous roles. The part also gives her ample opportunity to appear not only in the variety of the newest fashion models but also in cowboy regalia. GENERAL ITEMS.

ELTHAM THEATRE. “Innocents of Paris,” screening at the above theatre tonight, is a story of Paris, of the rise of a street urchin to a brilliant stage star, but with a great human theme that grips. In Maurice Chevalier, the star, is the greatest personality the stage or screen has ever known. Some of the songs are “On Top of the World Alone,” “Louise,” and “It's a Habit of Mine.’ One of the big spectacle scenes is a Parisian Revue with a huge chorus'of wonderful girls; add to this Maurice/Chevalier, dancing and singing, and you can imagine the re^t—a wonderful 'show.
