WAITOHI WOMEN’S INSTITUTE. At the monthly meeting of the Waitohi Women’s Institute held on June 15, Mrs Sewell (president) presided over a good attendance. One new member was elected. The motto selected by Miss M. Moore was, “If'7our foot slips you can recover your balance, but if your tongue slips you can never recall your words.” A motion of sympathy was passed with Mrs Parish in a recent bereavement. An invitation was received to the Temuka Women’s Institute birthday party in July. Final arrangements were made for the birthday party to be held early in July. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the vestry of St. Peter’s Church, Temuka. for giving the Institute the chairs from the church, and it was decided to send a letter of acknowledgment. A demonstration on “tatting," given by Mrs G. A. Davey, was very keenly followed. Mrs Davey was accorded a vote of thanks. A competition for an article from two skeins of wool, judged by Mrs G. A. Davey, resulted as follows:—Miss J. Sewell 1, Miss R. Moore 2, and Miss M. Moore 3. Afternoon tea was served by the hostesses, Mesdames W. Moore, Nolan, and Misses K. Lyon and J. Sewell.

“DR. JEKYLL AND MR HYDE.” When Paramount decided to make a new picturisation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s story of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde,” the Hollywood Paramount studios were told to spare no resources in making the new “talkie” version an artistic triumph. For guidance in

their work, the two writers had the original story, the play version which Robert Mansfield first presented in 1887 at Boston, and the silent screen production. Although the theme of the story was not altered, many new sequences have been put into the ' talking film. The writers also focussed considerable attention upon the romance of the story, which was minimised in the original and in the stage version and the former film. They also adapted the new screen story to the personality of Fredric March, who plays the title role. Fredric March, Paramount star, who has duplicated his former stage success in many excellent pictures, some of the recent ones being “Ladies Love Brutes," “Paramount on Parade.” “Manslaughter,” “Laughter" and “My Sin,” portrays the dual characters of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde." Miriam Hopkins has the leading role. She climbed to fame and popularity in many of Broadway’s stage hits; then Paramount called her to the screen, where she featured recently as a shy princess in “The Smiling Lieutenant.” Rose Hobart, for a long time prominent on the Broadway stage, plays the part of the affianced sweetheart of the handsome and benevolent Dr. Jekyll, Fredric March’s better-self in his blood-chilling role of the great mystery drama. Included in the supports is the Phar Lap special and a Mickey Mouse cartoon. There will be a matinee at 2.15 p.m. to-day. NOTES. A plain and fancy dress dance will be held in St. Joseph’s Hall on July 6. Mr E. Cliolerton, representative of John R. Procter, Ltd., the Premier , Opticians of Christchurch, will visit > Temuka on Saturday, June 25th when he may be consulted on all defects of eyesight at the Crown Hotel ....
