HIS MAJESTY'S

THE GlilL. GLORY

T\vo very excellent attractions feature, the m-w programme to be presented at rlis Majesty's Theatre to-night, u/..!cr tho titles of "The Girl Glory/ featuring Enid Bennett, and "Everybody s Business," which was produced in order to impress upon the Jintish public ttio grave necessity for economy in the use of food; tind which, as a propagandist picture, doubtless proves highly efficacious. At the same time this film proves that the Hnomatograph can play a useful, if humble, part in rendering service to the nation in time of war. On the. dramatic >ade of the programme a rema,rkably fine picture is "The Glory Girl,'' the Wding part in which is played uy the beautiful Enid Bennett. Glory Wharton is the granddaughter of Jed Wharton, a Civil Vv rar veteran, whose begetting weakness is his leaning to war is alcoholic indulgence. The latest Pathe Gazette is ■also included in the programme.

"OUR DAY."

FORDELL'S FINE EFFORT

A public meeting was held in the Fordell Hall on Monday, the 15th inst., to receive the balance-sheet in connection with the patriotic entertainments held in Fordell on October Ut and 11th in aid of " Our Day." The amount of money collected was indeod very creditable, and reflects credit on the patriotic spirit of the whole oi-t----rict. The weather on the evening cf the final and big effort was fa/ trou?. good, but a big sum of money vus taken, and everything put un fey auction brought good prices. A flag presented for auction by Mr S. Robiiison was auctioned, and realised the hynd some sum of £59 145., being imrdjy bought by Mr Robinson and presented to Mrs. Sutherland. The total amount of money collected by the two efforts was sliglitly over £163.
