THE CIVIC THEATRE. ‘‘THE WAY TO LOVE." Set against a background of the rooftop dwellings, the small carnivals and musical halls of the left bank of Paris, Maurice Chevalier in his newest starring picture for Paramount, “The Way to Love,” at the Civic Theatre this afternoon and evening, and on Monday evening. That part of Parisian life which offers Maurice the more simple, more human, “down-to-earth” roles he •o earnestly desires, presents the singing French star as a guide for a tourist agency. His job, showing the “beauties” of Paris, leads him into a romance with one beauty who isn t to be seen from the top of a sight-seeing bus. Ann Dvorak has the role. She has the job of target for a villainous knifethrower in a carnival act. Running away from her employer, she meets Chevalier and seeks refuge in his oneroom flat overlooking the roofs of Paris. But their romance meets with difficulties when the knife-thrower seeks them out and takes the girl back. In the supporting cast, in addition to Miss Dvorak, appears Edward Everett Horton, who was the star’s comedy foil in “A Bedtime Story.” “FREE OF TAGS.” At the Rangtikei County Council meeting on Friday the county clerk (Mr. H. H. Richardson) presented the audited balance-sheet for the county for the year ending March 31, 1933, “free of tags.” Ct. Stuart congratulated the county clerk on the excellent manner in which the balance-sheet had been prepared and on it being returned “free of tags.” HOCKEY DANCE. The Oroua Hockey Sub-Association will hold its opening of season dance in the Empire Hall, Marton, on Wednesday next, April 11.

Popular prices are being charged —gents 2s 6d and ladies 1/6. HAWKESTONE GOLF CLUB A stroke competition will be played on the Hawkestone Golf Club's links this afternoon, commencing at 1.30. Players will choose their own partners. MOTOR REGULATIONS “Motor regulations have gone too far,” said Cr. A. Stuart, M.P., at yesterday’s meeting of the Rangitikei County Council when the question of restricting certain areas and certain routes to certain transport services was being discussed. “Why should there not be free competition?” he asked with considerable emphasis. “Fair competition is the life of trade yet in this business a monopoly is allowed in each district. It is wrong! It is not what the Britisher is accustomed to! Something must be done or these regulations will run mad,” concluded Mr Stuart.
