POOL

The following is the story of "The Whirlpool,/ now showing at the Grand. Judge Reverton received a severe shock when Richard Brettner. a man he hoci trusted sufficiently to pardon him for a slight theft, commits murder. On the advico ot his physician (Dr Comyne), lie seeks rest in the country, where he meets Pella Cavallo (a gambler's daughter), and Arthur Harlem, nephew of ißrettner's victim. Pella, it turns out, was partially, though unwittingly, responsible for the murder. Reverton marries her, but when he learns from Comyne about her, he receives a s*ad blow. His suspicions are aroused when he *eturns to his home one day to discover his wife entertaining Harlem. Sho makes an appointment with him for that night. Reverton prepares himself lor the situation with a revolver. Bui he discovers, after all, that his wife is quite honourable for when Harlem rtj^ turns, begging her to elope with him, she draws from him his confession of murdering his uncle for his wealth, and the manner in which the appearance of Brettner made it Dossible for him to escape detection. The supporting pictures are all good, and include a splendid Pathe Gazette.

We draw our readers' attention to r.n advertisement appearing in another column calling a meeting of the Horticultural Society in the Borough-Coun-cil Chambers. For many years the Society was a great success. On the outbreak of war it was decided in view.of the many important calls on the public tc temporarily cease holding the shows. iSow that more tranquil times have come about a determined effort is to be made to resuscitate the society and regularly hold shows which will be worthy of the importance of our city. Will all who are interested in the subject make a point or attending the meeting on Wednesday evening, the 7th inst., at eight p.m.
