GENERAL NEWS A fire broke out in the railway locomotive bulk store about 7 p.m. on Wednesday, but fortunately little damage of any consequence resulted. Railwaymen held the fire in check with the department’s hose until the brigade and quickly extinguished the outbreak. Engine whistles sounded tho alarm, causing a considerable stir in the town, and within a very short space of time a largo crowd had assembled in the vicinity of the outbreak. Had the fire got out-of control the consequences would have been serious, as the locomotive office adjoins tho bulk st ire, while a very short distance away U’es the railway issuing store, containing valuable machinery and a large quantity of oil and kerosene. MAJESTIC THEATRE The final screening of “Night Nurse,” starring Barbara Stanwyck, takes place at the Majestic to-night (Friday). The picture presents vividly the temptations, fears, loves, and deeds of a girl who comes as a probationer to a great city hospital, and stays until she becomes not only a nurse, but a woman who saves lives and wins through suffering, the one thing women most want in life. Among tho many outstanding features of the Fox production, “Always Good-bye,” which stars the gorgeous Venetian beauty, Elissa Landi, and which shows at the Monday, are tho exquisite settings and Monday, are the exquiiste settings and photography. William Darling, who served as art director on the production, had the full co-operation of William Cameron Menzies, one of the codirectors, on the design and construction of all the sets. Menzies was awarded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences medal for the best art direction of last year. “Always Good-bye” is the first co-direc-torial assignment of Menzies and Kenneth Mac Kenna. It tells the romantic and thrilling story of a young society girl, who, upon finding herself bankrupt, chooses the life of an adventuress rather than one of poverty.
