ELTHAM THEATRE. “THREE LIVE GHOSTS.” Screening at the above theatre tonight is the picturisation of the seite-a-tional comedy-drama success .of the New York and Landon stage. The picture is unusual as there are no courtroom, theatre or night-club scenes depicted nor does the picture feature a theme song or song and dance sjieciali- ' ties. 1 The story revolves around'- three. British soldiers who escape from a German prison camp and return to their former haunts in London only to discover that they are legally dead in the eyes of the Government and their friends. Stark realism marks the war scenes in ‘•uo-inan’s-land” showing the , men “going over the top,” the roar of cannon and the whine of machine gun bullets piercing the air, the joyous and colourful Armistice celebration in London, but there is nothing distasteiul or distressing. The great success of the picture .lies in unusual treatment of the. story and good cleanwholesome fun.

AYRSHIRE CATTLE BREEDERS TARANAKI COMMITTEE MEETS. The monthly meeting of the committee of the Taranaki Ayrshire Cattle Breeders’ Chib was held in New Ply.mouth yesterday. Mr. W. Hall presided and other members present were Messrs. J. 0. Morion, H. If. Olson; R. Connett and F. W. Weston. ' i ■ Arising out of the personal experience of a member who said lie had been supplied with a different animal to that bought but was late in detecting the error, the committee decided to suggest to. the Dominion Association that provision should be made requiring tattoo marks to be placed on the transfer papers with other information relating to pedigrees of cattle sold. The club’s thanks were accorded Mr. and Mrs. F. Mills and theiy son for their hospitality to North Taranaki breeders on the occasion of a visit to their farm at Tokaora last month. The record of an 18-year-old cow belonging to Messrs; Korlf Bros., Campbelltown, was. referred to by members. This anima], Victoria, bad just completed a 9-months period under test, yielding 15,5051 b milk (representing 573.35 lb butter-fat.
