THE PICTURES At the Marton Town Hall this evening Maria Corda and Jameson Thomas will be featured in an exceptionally powerful story of a beautiful danseuse and the eternal conflict—the passionate craving for motherhood and the irresistible call of heart. Robert Doree marries Tesha, a Russian danseuse, who loves children. Five years pass and they have none. The family doctor puts it down to Robert’s shell-shock during the war. One day, at an hotel, Tesha succumbs to the embrace of Leua stranger. On her return, she finds Lenane is Robert’s best friend. She begs him to go, and he returns to Africa. Just before the child is born, he returns. ... An amazing story—delicately told—is unfolded on the screen, and is a veritable triumph of British screen craft. SANDON PLUNKET SOCIETY The ordinary meeting of the local branch of the Plunkct Society was held last week. There was a good attendance of members. It was decided to forward a donation of £2 2s to tho Wanganui Kari-| tane Home Building Fund. The treasurer was authorised to pay the half yearly subscription to the Feiiding branch and also £2 10s for car expenses for the visiting nurse. The nurse’s report for the past quarter stated that 24 visits had been paid to homes. Visitors to the rooms were: Adults 40, infants 3.1, older children 22. W.E.A. Although only short notice was given the meeting called for the purpose of forming a class under the auspices of the Workers’ Education Association was well attended. Mr J. AL Crouch was voted to the chair. It was resolved that a class be formed and those present signed up as members. Mr G. T. Fraser was elected class leader and Mr W. J. Jenkins, honorary secretary. For the next meeting Miss Bailey was appointed to take the chair and assist the class leader to prepare the lecture for the evening. At the close of the business Mr G. T. Francis read a lecture on “Romanticism,’ ’ which was interesting and enjoyable. A discussion on the matter read closed the meeting. AIETHODIST GUILD The ordinary monthly meeting of the above Guild was held on Wednesday last. The attendance was only moderate, a number of apologies being received on account of sickness. Rev. C. H. Kendon presided. The evening was devoted to questions which had been handed in to the president by members and which were answered by the chairman. A general discussion followed and an interesting and instructive evening was spent. BULLS THE PICTURES A new screen author has been discovered in Harry O. Hoyt, who, with William Craft, developed the story of “Painting the Town.” Au ideal situation must have obtained between these two, the author and the director, to produce such a skillful and human picture as this joyous comedy, which is throwing them into gales of laughter. “Painting the Town,” which will be shown at Bulls Town Hall on Saturday evening, would make a good picture to show an automobile accessory convention. It contains at least fifteen inventions for automobiles, so modern and ingenious that they probably won’t actually be invented for ten or fifteen years more. But they are worth the attention of any automobilist. MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING. This (Thursday) evening, Ohakea (holder) and Bulls (challengers) will shoot for the AlcKelvie Cup on the Ohakea range. On Tuesday evening there was a fair attendance of riflemen at the weekly shoot held on the Bulls range, and the scores were as follows*—
