Sherriff, of Taoroa, was offered for sale at a bull fair at Dannevirke on Wednesday and realised 355 guineas which was top price for the sale. This speaks well for the district and is a feather in the cap of a well-known and highly-esteemed farmer who has been breeding Aberdeen Angus cattle for several years with conspicuous success. The bull in question was offered for sale by the N. Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., on behalf of Mr. Sherriff. THE MAJESTIC. “CAMILLE.” The exciting romantic combination of Greta Garbo with Robert Taylor under the direction of the brilliant George Cukor, who only recently filmed the successful “Romeo and Juliet,” makes the distinguished new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture “Camille,” being shown at the Majestic Theatre today and to-morrow (Saturday) one of the most compelling attractions the screen has ever offered its host of adherents. Never, in the memory of this reviewer, has there been so thrilling a love team as that revealed in “Camille” through the unforgetably poignant portrayal of the incomparable Aliss Garbo and the virile and romantic performance of Taylor, who in this picture more than satisfies the expectations of the millions who have proclaimed him the screen’s most fascinating male actor.
