GENERAL NEWS The monthly meeting of the Taihape Borough Council was held last evening. The monthly sitting of the Taihape Magistrate’s Court will be held next Thursday, September 24. A lengthy list of cases has been set down for hearing. THE MAJESTIC “RENDEZVOUS.” It seems impossible that a gripping mystery yarn can be written from a bottle of invisible inK—yet this is exactly what Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have done with one of the most I mystifying of modern thrillers. The picture is ‘Rendezvous,” based upon the actual happenings of the famous Black Chamber of world war time. It brings William Powell to the screen again in the most unusual portrayal of his career as a screen criminologist. Powell is the young head of the Black Chamber, the counter-espionage bureau that catches enemy spies through decoding enemy messages and finding Invisible ink impregnated in clothing. A young son of Mars, ex-puzzle editor, eager to fight in France. Powell suddenly finds himself in Washington as a cryptographer assigned to break down enemy codes. In time he finds his otherwise monotonous job more thrilling than front line action. He finds himself between two fires—fires of love involving Rosalind Russell as the Assistant War Secretary’s daughter, and Binnie Barnes, as the bewitching spy. Doggedly, widening the breach between the secretary’s daughter, Powell plays the fair Olivia as his pawn and eventually wipes out the dangerous spy ring. “Rendezvous” screens to-day and Monday.
