C HARLES LAUGHTON IN “REMBRANDT” AT CIVIC THEATRE TO-NIGHT Only out of the colourful life and loves of the world’s greatest lover and painter of beauty could Alexander Korda have drawn the extraordinary canvas of motion picture beauty and entertainment that is “Rembrandt.” his new film, which brings Charles Laughton to the Civic Theatre tonight in the greatest of his many great starring roles?. “Rembrandt” is the story of a genius, of his struggles, his triumphs in a world that would not fully understand him for a hundred years after his time. “Rembrandt,” too. is the story of the three

women whose beauty lighted his way —whose love inspired him to paint as no man before or since. Gertrude Lawrence diseuse, comedian and stage star of two continents —makes a triumphant motion picture debut in this screen masterpiece. And the haunting appeal of Elsa Lanchester is fully realised in the important feminine role of Hendrickje Stoffels.

Tylee, who sustained fatal injuries in a motor accident at Marton on Sunday, was born at Parewanui in 1894 and after a few years, together with his parents, removed to Napier, and later commenced farming operations. Eventually he took over the Tutira run—a big station just outside Napier—on behalf of his brother-in-law, Mr E. Toogood. Incidentally, he was the first white man to go to this particular locality. After many successful years in this district he left and took up farming pursuits in various parts of the Wanganui district, and later in the Waimarino area, where he retired and later settled in Marton. His wife predeceased him two and a-half years ago. The late Mr Tylee leaves a famPy of three sons and two daughters—Mr T. H. Tylee, of Kaitieka; Mr A. B. Tylee, of Taumarunui: and Mr J. Tylee, of Waituna; Mrs W. Quinn, of Marton, and Mrs George White, of Taihape. An inquest opened on Monday and was adjourned till Thursday. The funeral will leave the late residence at 1.30 this afternoon for the St. Stephen’s Cemetery, Mount View.

SHOOTING SEASON LIMIT BAGS PLENTIFUL The shooting season opened In earnest in Rangitikei on Saturday morning. The sport locally was particulaily encouraging and many sportsmen availed themselves of the opportunity of rising early and journeying to the various lakes in the district. Numerically ducks were more plentiful than they have been for a decade. In some cases limit bags were secured in the morning. Sport on the Santoft lakes was not as good as usual because of the rough weather. The ducks were there, but sportsmen were unable to use their boats. According to the Wellington Acclimatisation Society’s ranger. Mr Andrew, limit bags were a common occurrence. Figures are not available as records were not kept by the local secretary, Mr G. T. Avery. The following waters were shot over by parties:—Smith Bros.’ lakes, Soler’s lakes, Turakina River. Whittington’s lake, Plane’s House, Heaton Park lakes—home lake and nursery— Lake William, Round Bush. Lake Beamish. Blind Island, Lake Herbert, Lake Alice.

The total of the bags obtained was between 500 and 600 ducks.
