The justices on the bench, Messrs. C. 0. Ekdahl and G. H. Buckeridge, fixed the term of his employment as one -lunar month in the New Plymouth gaol. C. A. Boyd, inspector of railways, said that he was proceeding through a 'second-class car asking for tickets. He asked a man who was with accused for his ticket. Accused.-then said:, “Leave the —- man alonel ' I know he has a ticket; leave him alone.” Witness said: “I am finished with you and my advice is git down. I don’t want anything, to do with you.” Accused continually interrupted the inspector and obstructed him in his work. Consequently witness telegraphed to Waverley. ■ The other man was arrested for failing to pay, but as he had sufficient money he was allowed to go.

“NO, HO, NANETTE” AT MANAIA.

“No, No, Nanette” will show at the Manaia talkies for a three nights’ season, commencing to-morrow. The screen version of this musical comedy is a much more, expansive and brilliant show than the play which visited New Zealand two. years ago, with hundreds of beautiful girls in elaborafely-mounted dancino- ensembles and choral numbers, many °of the scenes vieing in colour, costume and scenic splendour with the very best pictures seen at this theatre. Colour is reserved, for the final 20 minutes of the picture. The story concerns the complications which follow the liberality of James Smith,, a millionaire Bible, publisher, to a number of young ladies, all unknown to his confiding, skin-flint wife. At length these ladies from Boston and Chicago become so importunate that he has to call in hia lawyer to buy them off, but the. lawyer fails' to fix things, and when Smith is spending a clandestine but perfectly innocent holiday at the seaside with his ward, Nanette, Mrs. Smith, egged on by Lucille (the lawyer’s wife), has Smith watched, by private detectives, who arrange a coup by sending all of Smith’s’ charmers to his seaside cottage, where they are faced by the two irate wives. In the meantime Nanette induces Smith to finance her lover’s show “Up. in the Air/’, which gives ■ ample opportunity for a lavish theatrical display and some tit-bits of romance. Bernice Claire acts and signs charmingly as Nanette, and her opposite is played by Alex. Gray. Lucien Littlefield is very amusing as Smith, and Louise Fazenda displays a fine facility for legitimate acting as his much-deceived wife. Lillian Tashman is admirable as Lucille; Bert Roach is the lawyer; and Zasu Pitts gets big laughs as a maid of all work. The programme also includes Movietone News, “Harry Rosenthal’s Musical Revels,” “Red D-mohue and Uno”, (in comedy playlet) and “The Hunt” (male quartet in popular hunting songs. A free bus will run from Hawera on Monday and Tuesday and a free bus from Kaponga on Tuestlaj*
