Snow Ideal at East Mountain Resort. Judging by the experience of visitors to the eastern mountain resort, there should be plenty of snow there for the Stratford ski-ing championship events during the week-end. Five or six cars drove to the houses without experiencing any trouble, though a couple that went on to the heights of the Plateau had to fit chains. The snow lay seven and eight inches deep at the house, and was ideal for ski-ing at and above the plateau. A Hawkes Bay visitor who spent the afternoon on the mountain returned full of enthusiasm at the splendid winter sports available in the vicinity of Matt ganui hut. Eltham Anglican' Euchre.

Reports submitted to the Advance Stratford Raffle Committee indicate that tickets in the art union to provide funds for future advertising of Stratford have sold freely since the scheme was launched. Books of tickets were issued to most business houses and, while some have already sold their full allotment, others appear to have overlooked the matter. Present indications are that about half the available tickets have been sold, but interest is expected to deepen as the closing date, October 20, draws near. KING’S THEATRE, STRATFORD. “SITTING PRETTY” TO-MORROW. Real comedy and real music is offered by the King’s Theatre to-morrow, when Paramount’s spectacular musical film, “Sitting Pretty,” will be screened. From the opening to the final crash the picture is jammed with comedy, music and beautiful girls. The locale is Hollywood, and the characters are song-writers, stars, producers and others. Jack Oakie, Jack Haley and Ginger Rogers arrive in Hollywood. The boys want to be song-writers, and Ginger wants to appear in pictures. In the maddest melee ever conceived by a Hollywood scenario writer the boys do get a chance when Thelma Todd, a star, hires them. American radio stars such as the Pickens Sisters, Arthur Jarrett and Virginia Sale do the big song hits'that were written for this picture.
