Marshall (chairman), G. G. Olliver, A. B. Innes, A. Hopkins, R. 1), Kerr, D. Cameron, J. Le Comte and C. A. Tidy. Messrs A. Hopkins, D. Cameron and R. D. Kerr were elected a selection committee. A discussion took place about the state of the Marton Park for cricket, and it was recommended that a set of heavy tripod harrows be put over the ground, followed by rolling. It was decided to ask the Park Committee of the Borough Council to have the ground put in order for the opening of the cricket season on October 28. If negotiations fail with the Park Committee for next Wednesday, the Grounds Committee was instructed to prepare two wickets on the new ground. A fete will be held in the Marton Park on Saturday, February 20. Messrs J.

Levee when he assembled tho cast of “One Year to Live,” the new First National picture which is coming to the Marton Town Hall to-morrow (Saturday) night. Eight stellar players, new Und old claimants of great picture popularity, will bring to the screen performances that compare with, and perhaps supersede, the best known to iilmdom. Aileen Pringle, whoso worth as a feminine lead is established, is beloved by film fans, who still remember her lino performance in “A Thief in Paradise.” As a beautiful French girl who is told by her physician that she has but one year to live, and proceeds to live it in her own startlingway, Miss Pringle will prove a revelation. Antonio Moreno, whom Rex Ingram has termed tho “original screen sheik,” will have the role of Tom Kendrick, tho American army offiver for -whom the French girl makes’ love and eternity during the few wee&s of her allotted life. Moreno will be seen in one of tho most stirring portrayals of his career. The other six stellar players are Dorothy Maekaill, Rosemary Theby, Joseph Kijgour, Sara de Grasse, Rose Dione, and Chester Conklin.
