Scannell and Mr T. King. Mr J. Stewart was M.C. WAITEA REBEKAH LODGE Bro. R. Tagg, D.D.G.M., was officially welcomed at the fortnightly meeting of the Waitea Rebekah Lodge, over which Sister J. Downes, N.G., presided. Visitors from the Waihi Rebekah Lodge (Geraldine) were present. A motion of sympathy was passed with Sister M. Williams. One candidate was initiated. An invitation was extended to the Sunshine Rebekah Lodge (Timaru) to be present at the next meeting. “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the Cratchits and the rest of the beloved characters in the Charles Dickens story come to life in “A Christmas Carol,” showing tonight at the Elite Theatre. With Reginald Owen in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser, and Terry Kilburn as Tiny Tim, the crippled child who touches the man’s hard heart, the picture follows the original story with absolute fidelity. Old London of the Dickens period is faithfully reproduced, with its quaint Christmas costumes, its singing of carols and other details of the story. The cast includes Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, as Bob Cratchit, the clerk, and his wife, parents of Tiny Tim. Lynne Carver and Barry Mackay are the romantic leads as Scrooge’s nephew and his sweetheart, and Leo G. Carroll, Lionel Braham, Ann Rutherford, D’Arcy Corrigan and Ronald Sinclair are among the players. The story tells of the regeneration of Ebenezer Scrooge, harsh miser, when shown Christmas of his past, present and future by the ghost of his dead partner and three Christmas spirits. Amid the dramatic highlights of the story are intimate glimpses of family life and customs of the time.
