I MARTON CIVIC THEATRE. •THE SUN NEVER SETS." I Deriving drama from the everI changing world affairs of to-day, UniJ versal’s "The Sun Never Sets’ will I bring Douglas Fairbanks, jnr., Basil ■ Rathbone, Virginia Field, Barbara I O'Neil, and others to the screen of the Civic Theatre this (Monday) evening. While the new picture concerns itself largely with the romantic careers oi | two closely-knit couples in England • I and on the Gold Coast of Africa, it has I its background in the channels of in- | ternational diplomacy. Fairbanks and Rathbone, as brothers and British civil service officials, find themselves in a dramatic position as key characters in a political emergency that might rock the entire world if their heroic efforts i prove in vain. MAJOR HARVEYLONGRATI LATED. i i Al the conclusion of the parade on I e (Thursday evening the Marton Platoon ■ v * adjourned to the Coronation Hail to v i extend congratulations to ex-Sergeant , ? i Major H. b. Harvey, N.Z.P.S., W.0., ' - ion his promotion to Staff Lieutenant i ! and Adjutant. ■ j Following the loyal toast the ad- ' j ( jutant’s health was proposed by the j ■/ | Platoon Commander. Lieut. E. H. i ’ Simpson, who said the N.C.O.'s and i j men of the Marton Platoon and himi : self wished to express their pleasure j at the well-merited promotion which - i had come the way of their mentor s | and friend. Mr. Harvey had been . i visiting Marton for parades and . N.C.O. classes since the platoon was f formed under the volunteer system f some eight years ago, and in that time l, had earned the esteem and respect of - ail concerned. On behalf of the i platoon Mr. Simpson extended sincere I congratulations to Mr. Harvey on his - promotion. s<' Responding later Mr. Harvey said e. he appreciated very much the spirit - , prompting lhe gathering, which was j | typical of the morale and esprit de 1 i corps for which the Marton Platoon j j i had always been a by-w ora. RANGITIKEI CRICKET. e ! Only one match was played on Sal--1 ! urday. Porewa, being unable to make ‘ | the trip to Taihape defaulted to Tai- ; I hape Railway, rrom reports it appears that none of the local clubs will i oe aole to manage the trip to Taihape > in the coming season. J The other game which had aroused p much speculation during the week, ' Marton v. Old Boys, both teams naving wins last weeK, resulted in a win 1 for Marton by 101 runs on the first ■ innings. r Ola Boys opened, getting a barl • start. J. Duncan haa a "liie,” when he was clean bowled b\ a no-oall from Williams. KI its ch er (33) was " the only batsman to get going, his ■’ score including seven lours. 1.
