MARTON

PERSONAL On Wednesday evening a number of members of the Marton Cricket Club made a presentation of a wallet to Mr P. P. J. Corbaliis on the occasion of his approaching marriage. The presentation was made by Air J. H. C. Broad, the captain of the club, who complimented the genial ‘‘Mike” on the efficient manner in which he had carried out the duties of secretary during the past season. He was recognised as a ‘‘good sport” and his ability in looking after the financial side of the club, and also on the field of play had made him a very popular cricketer. Although the club had not been very successful in winning matches, the season bad been a most enjoyable one. owing to the friendly spirit that had been displx'ed between the members, which in no small measure was due to the genial secretary. In responding, Mr Corbaliis stated that as far a: the duties as secretary were concerned they had been very easy and pleasant to fulfil. Miss Kitty Winstanley was the guest of honour at a kitchen tea on Friday afternoon. Mesdames Scott, Baxter and Young entertained a large number of friends at the residence of Mrs Scott, Tutaenui Road. The drawing room was very prettily decorated with various kinds of flowers.

THE CIVIC THEATRE “OUTCAST LADY’’ There is a lilt, a swing, an irresistible power to the drama of “Outcast Lady,” which AI.G.M. opened on Saturday at the Civic Theatre and will be ) finally screened this evening. Un- , doubtedly ninety per cent of its great impetus as an entertainment conies from the sphmdid romanticism of its > two principal protagonists, Constance Bennett and Herbert Marshall, the newest notable pair of screen lovers. Aliss Bennett and Air. Alarshall arc perfectly cast as the “Iris” and the . “Napier” of Michael Arlen's treatment of these two, with their amazingly tangled love affair, a sweep ex cellently preserved for the talking screen by Scenarist Zoe Akins and Director Robert Z. Leonard. An exceedingly strong supporting east aids to keep the tempo of the emotionalism at a high pitch. Henry Stephenson, fresh from his triumph in “Little Women,” is line as the stern Sir Maurice. Alec B. Francis has a beautifully done part as an old family retainer. Robert Loraine is splendid as an unrequitted love. Particularly outstamiing, however, is Hugh Williams as the alcoholic, tern- ■ post uous “Ger a Id. ’ ’ Al rs Fat rick a Cmp : boll gives one of her inimitable per- ; Hare and Leu Carroll are also finely cast.
