Higgins, of Marton branch of the Bank of New Zealand, has been transferred to Huntorville, and will be replaced by Mr Beale, of the Hunterville branch. “MAN OF THE FOREST” Lakes that breathe, canyons with triple echoes, twelve-pronged deer with charmed lives and herds of wild horses; —these are some of the fascinating features of the California Sierras country photographed by Director John Waters’ motion picture company in making Paramount’s “Man of the Forest,” from Zane Grey's novel, which will be shown at the Marton Town Hall this evening.
