STRATFORD SPRING SHOW.

' Intending exhibitors are reminded that entries for the Stratford A. and P. Association’s annual show will close next Saturday, November 16. Those who have not yet received a schedule are advised to communicate with the secretary at once. For breeders to exhibit at agricultural shows is now considered one of the essentials for success. At a time when economy and production are being preached from every platform, agricultural sows, particularly Stratford, have a value peculiarly their own, the aim of all beijig the elimination of waste and an increased production of the best. For this reason all should make a point of exhibiting at and encouraging the Stratford Show Association, the aim of which is the benefit of the whole community. The extensive prize list this year surpasses anything previously offered at Stratford and is equal to any show in New Zealand. Do not fail to take advantage of competing at the Stratford spring show.*

BRITAIN’S GAYEST COMEDIAN. “MEET .MY SISTER.” An eminent English film critic, to whose opinions screen audiences attach especial value, describes “Meet My Sister,” now screening on the Realtone circuit, as offering “a laugh in every foot”; there isn’t a dull moment in the whole with its complications, its misunderstandings, its cross purposes and happy denouement. With Britain’s gayest comedian, Clifford Mollison, playing the leading role, there is every reason to anticipate an uproariously funny interpretation of his role of Lord Victor Wilby. Lord Victor, it seems, is one of those individuals who imagine .that life has no, greater blessings than that of perpetual bachelorhood. If he must marry, then money, rather than love, must be the deciding fdctor. And so Lord Victor is honouring the American Sowerby family —the Sowerby of “soups, sauces and savouries” notoriety—by allying his name with theirs. But he reckons without the little imp of mischief, who decides to introduce complications into his life, an imp who presents him with two “sisters” whom he had never seen and who “make hay” of his well-laid matrimonial plans. Constance Shotter is the Joan of the story, the lovely employee of a perfumery salon who comes to collect an account, and eventually is destined to collect the heart of his lordship, although not without considerable disturbance to the peace of mind of both of them. Jimmy Godden has .the role of Pogson, the butler, and Fred. Duprez, Enid Stamp-Tay-lor, Helen Ferrers dnd Frances Dean are also prominent in an excellent cast. ELTHAM TALKIES. GOLDEN-VOICED GRACE MOORE. Golden voiced Grace Moore will be seen in “Love Me Forever,” a really beautiful melodramatic musical romance at Eltham to-night. Lovers of beautiful music and song will be more than delighted with this production. The supporting cast is headed by Leo Carillo, Robert Allen and the charming tenor, Michael Bartlett. All through, Grace Moore’s voice holds the audience under a speh. She is effervescently coy in the opening number, Il Bachoa (The Kiss), is demure in the theme song Love Me Forever, and is transfigured by the deep emotion of the famous quartet from Rigoletto (sung as a chorus), and lavishly mounted in a cafe scene. The story rises to transcendental heights when she anpears in scenes from La Bohfeme, as Mimi. A further feature is the beauty of the dressing of the scenes, the period costuming and gorgeous mounting.
