FINE QUALITY CHEESE. REPORT ON TARANAKI PRODUCT. That the quality of New Zealand cheese is now of a high standard was confirmed In a recent report received on a shipment of cheese from the Kaponga Dairy Company. The report, which was received by Newton King Ltd. from its London principals, was made by J. and J. Lonsdale and Co. Ltd. and stated: “In our opinion these are some of the finest New Zealand cheeses we have seen on the market for "a considerable time. They are a very close cutting cheese. The salting is very mild and the flavour of the cheese is most palatable and satisfying. We intend to write our friends at Kaponga factory complimenting them upon the cheese.” The letter was posted at London on March 1 and reached New Plymouth on March 18, having come by air mail. NEW SCREEN TEAM. DICK POWELL; GINGER ROGERS. A new romantic team comes to the screen in Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers, who appear as screen lovers in “Twenty Million Sweethearts,” which opens at the Hawera Opera House to-day for a two-night season. No more popular couple could appear together than these two, who work in perfect harmony. Both have won their spurs as popular screen players as well as singers of exceptional ability. Powell rose to screen fame from an orchestra leader through such pictures as “42nd Street,” “Footlight , Parade,” “Gold Diggers of 1933,” “Wonder Bar” and others. Ginger Rogers, the titian haired beauty, first made her hit on the musical comedy stage and later in pictures, including the musicals of “Gold Diggers of 1933” and “42nd Street.” There are several specialty numbers in the picture in addition to the songs rendered by Powell and Ginger. These include music by Ted ?io Rito and his band, songs by the Four Mills Brothers, and imitations of famous radio personalities by the Three Radio Rogues.
