The attendance of crowds of tennis players at the court for practice before the opening day indicates that the season’s membership will be a record one. Mr. and Mrs. Bredow sent., Auckland, and Mrs. Hopkirk, Nelson, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. Bredow.

ELTHAM TALKIES.

“IN THE WAKE OF THE BOUNTY.”

Travelogues and gramas have drenched the screen with the spray of the South Sea beaches until the filmgoers imagine that they know every angle from which a palm can be photographed. Then an Australian, Charles Chauvel, makes “In the Wake of the Bounty,” and presents the Pacific under a strange and cloudy beauty such as has never been seen before. In this remarkable production, showing at Eltham to-night, drama as well as beauty has been caught by the film; human romances, swift tragedy, interludes as exciting as any fiction, enthrall the audiences. Chauvel is most concerned with the savage languor of the tropics. He masses the brilliance of wild dances and flowers to show the pathetic contrast between the islands which link the famous mutiny—Tahiti and Pitcairn. The first part, of the film is a glamorous reconstruction of history, with young Errol Flynn playing the part of Fletcher Christian, Mayne Lynton that of Bligh, and Victor Gouriet that of the blind fiddler who tells the tale. The later sequences of the film admirably bear out the intention of Expeditionary Films Ltd., to chart the unknown tracts the world.
