AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

THE GRAND TOM MIX IN THE "RAINBOW TRAIL” Tom Mix, according to report, has packed an unusual number of thrills into his latest William Fox starring vehicle, “The Rainbow Trail,” which will be shown at the Grand Theatre beginning to-day. “The Rainbow Trail” is even more thrilling than “Riders of the Purple Sage,” to which it is the sequel. Both stories are by Zane Grey, and therefore both breathe the spirit of the West. In the beautiful, rugged, snowcapped mountains of the North-west, Mix and Tony, his wonder horse, ride through perilous adventures. While making the picture Mix performed deeds of new daring-. The story is full of swift situations. The winsome Anne Cornwall shows marked dramatic ability in her portrayal of the leading role opposite Mr Mix. Several hilariously funny episodes are contributed by Mark Hamilton and Lucient Littlefield, a pictureesque pair of western comedians. Others who support Mix are George Bancroft, the principal villain; Diana Miller, a lessor villian; Steve Clemente, Vivian Oakland, Tom Delmar, Fred De Silva, Carol Halloway and Doc Roberts. “The Rainbow Trail” is an engrossing story of a man’s hunt for the girl of his drcams. The trail leads him to Surprise Valley, where his uncle, Jim Lassiter, a woman and the girl have been held prisoner for years. An outlaw band tries to thwart his efforts to rescue them, but, after overcoming apparently insurmountable obstacles and fighting a desperate battle, he succeeds. This picture will be preceded by a seven-reel comedy, starting at 2 p.m. and 7.45 p.m., featuring Earle Fox, the star of Van Bibber Comedies, in “The Last Man on Earth.” The box plans for to-morrow, Friday and Saturday are now open at Grand Theatre office. SONS OF TEMPERANCE On Tuesday evening the Sunbeam Division held its monthly meeting in the Central Hall, Bro. Tisard, W.P., presiding. One member was received on transfer from Christchurch, and one candidate was initiated.

Kendall was appointed de-puty-superintendent of juveniles. An invitation to attend a social in the Central Hall on October 29 was accepted. Members were urged to attend the temperance demonstrations to be held in Cook’s Gardens on Sunday next. GONVILLE CONCERT THIS EVENING Great interest has been aroused in the concert to be promoted in the Goniville Town Hall this evening in aid lof the St. Peter’s Church funds.

A crowded house should ’result. Miss Rita Tilley has devoted ’particular care to the arrangements, and it is certain that her efforts will be well rewarded. i The committee in charge has made special arrangements to cope with, a Harge crowd.
