NORTH CANTERBURY.

RANGIORA. Milton Sills and Natalie Kingston are the stars of "Framed," the pi'jture to be shown at Everybody's, in the Town Hall, this evening. This is a strong drama of Brazil, of a French officer's lonely exile in those romantic parts, and of his long, uneven struggle against the blonde charmer of the settlement. "Framed'' is an excellent picture, set in vivid surroundings, and played bv an exceptionally clever cast. Milton Sills is seen in one of his virile roles, and he lives to the woman-hating soldier a very real ring. Box plans are at Tlie Bristol, and day sales are at the Golden Gate Confectionery Shop.
