The Whakamara school children went to Mokoia. on Thursday and played the Mokoia. - children at tennis, each school winning seven sets.; The games were Whakamara 61, Mokoia 58. The hall ivas- crowded with parents ■and friends p,n' Friday night for, the annual school concert, which yas a /greater success than ever, all enjoying 1 the given solely by the children. The programme waS: well, assorted, there being songs, pianoforte solos and duets, folk-dancing and plays. The plays provided plenty of humour, The.-chairman, Mr. J. Dobson, eulogised the work of the teachers, Mr. I. Buchanan and Miss E. Birkett. The attendance had been particularly fine,, there being twelve attendance certificates for'a roll of 39; and ten of the recipients'had not missed one halfday in the year, The school’s records this year were attendance, ten prizes at the Hawera" show and the highest entry for South Taranaki in the Boys’ and Girls’ Agricultural Glubs. The prizes ’for the year were presented by-, the chairman and medals for calf-rearing and dairy ‘ type were presented to Gor-don-Do’bson, . and one for rearing to Peggy Barkla, The ladies provided an enjoyable supper and the remainder of the’evening was spent in dancing, ' Mrs. C. Candy, who has been in the Hawera hospital for some time, has returned home. '

Mr. Arthur Herbert and several school children had a narrow escape a few days ago when the front axle of the lorry Mr. Herbert was driving snapped. Fortunately he was driving slowly. " Mrs. I. Buchanan has returned from a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Lowry, Otaki, who have just returned from-an extended tour of the United States, Canada, Britain and Europe. HAWERA SCHOOL OPERETTA. “PRINCESS JU JU” REPEATED. ■ “Princess Ju Ju” and her entrancing band 4 of followers again delighted a large gathering at the Hawera Opera : House last night, when the Hawera Main. : School pupils gave their final rendering, of the operetta “Princess Ju Ju.” The production was even better ■’interpreted than on the opening night , and reflected great credit on the members of - the -teaching staff who had so carefully prepared the players. A featureof the show, was the beautiful scenery painted by the Emperor Hokipokitippitoptop (Mr, A. W. Lawn), depicting at one time a realistic Japanese garden and at another an eerie woodland’night scene. ■ . OPERA HOUSE, HAWERA. ' TALKIES AT 'THE GRAND. t • ’ ' ■ One of the most enthralling romances seen and heard’ on the talking screen for some time, entitled ‘“The American Prisoner,” will be screened at the Hawera Opera House talkies to-night only. The picture was adapted from the famous novel by Eden Philpotts, and stars Carl Brisson, the greatest romantic actor of the English stage, who is ideally suited to the role in which he is cast. The story concerns a young American naval officer, ‘ who* is captured by the British for smuggling arms to the French during the Napoleonic Wars of 1815. He meets and falls in- love with the charming daughter of a local squire, and carries on a passionate love-making until Armistice is declared, when he is released from prison, and allowed to marry her. The supporting roles are played by Madeleine Carroll, Cecil Barry, Bromley Davenport and Nancy Price. Again last night patrons at the . Grand Theatre were delighted with the clarity of the recently-installed “talkie” equipment and the excellence of the programme featuring the Paramount picture, “Street of Chance,” with William Powell in the lead. It is a tale of big city gambling. The lives of those who live by their winnings at the poker tables of the metropolis are held up to the mirror of reality. But. if -Powell is shown to be a sinister character in the role of “Natural” Davis, the biggest gambler of them all, he is.nevertheless portrayed as a kindly, human person th a bisx aeuw-ao- •
