MARTON BOWLING CLUB AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING (From the “Chronicle’s” Special Correspondent.) Beautiful weather and a perfect playing green favoured the above club for the opening of the bowling season in Marton on Wednesday afternoon, and it was very gratifying to the members that rinks from Terrace End (Palmerston North), Kapanui, St. John’s and Gonville (Wanganui), Hun•terville, Feilding and Bulls (2 rinks) participated in the opening games. The president (Mr F. Purnell) welcomed the visitors, and in doing so referred to the fact that the club was greatly indebted to the neighbouring clubs for their sportsmanlike spirit in sending teams to take part in the opening. He hoped that they and their . lady friends would enjoy the afternoon’s sport. He was pleased to see the old faces, and equally welcomed the new faces. They were particularly pleased to see them at any time, and the Marton green was always at their disposal. He desired to express the thanks of the members of the local club to their honorary supervisor, Mr O. Neumann, who had put in much good work in preparing the greens for the afternoon’s play. Mrs F. Purnell threw up the “jack” and the green was declared open.

Mrs F. Purnell entertained the visitors and players of the Marton Bowling Club to a dainty afternoon tea, which was very much appreciated. Following is the result of the games played:— Marton. —Staples, Paul Lourie, Neumann, 28 v. Bulls: Ellery, Walker, Ingram, Farrer, 13. M’arton: Brown, Death, Stevens, Shine 10 v.

Levee’s First National production, which will be screened at the Marton Town Hall on Saturday next, is a story dealing with a girl who is told that she has only one year to live and proceeds to live it as recklessly as she knows how. The expected tiling would be that the essential and most poignfint parts of that one year are left to the imagination. No such thing in “One Year to Live.” Director Cummings has retained every portion of the John Hunter story which newspaper reporters would refer to as “stark realism.” Aileen Pringle, as Elise Duchanier, is shown debating with herself whether she shall die without having her high tand fast fling at life. When she finally decides what she does decide, the camera trails hci. When Antonio Moreno, in the role of Tom Kendrick, refuses to accept the love of Lolette, a celebrated Parisian dancer played by Rosemary Theby, it is shown why. The fact that she loves Brunel, interpreted by Joseph Kilgour, is conveyed delicately, of course, but without mincing of words. Let him who wants pure and unadulterated description fend coherence. in his entertainment look to “One Year to Live” as a brilliant example. In it is embodied frankness of expression. GARDEN PARTY AT TURAKINA. On Saturday, November 7, a garden party (in aid of St. George’s Church, Turfikina), will be held at Mr. H. Y. Lethbrige’s residence, “Dalvey, ” Turakina, commencing at 2 p.m. There will bo an exhibition and sale of x flowers, sale of produce and fancy work, guessing competitions and games.
