Great interest is being taken in the showing of our players in these opening games of the competitions. The Bulls senior fifteen is strong in forwards, but several of the rearguard may lack the necessary combination, as well as condition- However, they should take some beating to-day. The Bulls juniors are light, but there is any amount of talent here in this grade, and the selectors should have no difficulty in picking a fairly smart side.

THE PICTURES. The jaded film appetites of movie fans will find refreshing stimulation in the exciting thrill-packed adventures of Robert Armstrong and Richard Cromwell as the two happy-go-lucky young camera news hawks in the Columbia film. “Above the Clouds,” which will be screened at Bulls to-day (Saturday). A fast-action story of newsreel cameramen which embraces a thrilling wreck of a huge dirigible in an Atlantic gale, a crash between a destroyer and a submarine, a thrilling prize fight for a championship, arc only a few ot the thrills in store. “Above the Clouds” is without doubt the most spectacular film ever screened at the Bulls Town Hall. Supports include comedy, ear toon, newsreel, sports thrills and traveltalk. and a special Cinesound of the Maori reception to H.R.U. the Duke of Gloucester at Rotorua. This fine programme is screening to-day and to-night at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
