It showed all the latest local happenings, including the opening of the season on the Gonville Bowling Club's green, opening of the cricket season on Cook's Gardeusy.-opftn.mg of the local rowing season, in which picturesque and highly amusin gincidents are illustrated, the Gonville Fire Brigade at practice, scenes in Wellington, including some fino yachting snaps and some lovely Wanganui River views, including the beautiful Ohura Falls. The "OhronicW was warmly ap'pj!aud<#r. The programme was rich in dramas, but the star was a fine dramatisation of the well-wnown drama "The Midnight Wedding" The'sensational fea-' tures of this powerful drama are faithfully presentee!. Another drama -which held the interest of the audience was "The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter," showing how fat© dealt with a girl and the man who loved her.
