KING'S THEATRE. An excellent programme of pictures is promised for the King's Theatre this evening. The "star'-' fifm is entitled "T.H, G<,!iva " an , is descriptive of that legendary lady's ride through Coventry, and the deserved fate of "Peeping loin. Other films to be shown are "Spoilt Child." "Cecilia the Martyr.'" ''Blind Heroine." "The I Peasant Girl's Revenge" and "Eisli(ermen's Cottages." In the comic division are ''Good Hunting Dog," '"Inconvenience of Beauty," "A Peppery Affair" and "P.C. Ha.vkeyo as a Sportsman." Music will be supplied bv Kearsley's orchestra THE LEVIN PICTURES. A crowded house witnessed th j initial display of the Levin Pictures in the Town Hall last evening. Tliov were voted first-class, and the drq matic films were especially well greeted. The "star" film was t coloured representation (4000 feer long) called "Esinerald." It \\ atehed with intorest throughout and the fact of tho plot running . and around tho world-famous Notre Dame lent added interest to a famous picture. The supporting Alms were also pleasing. "The Charge of tho Light Brigade" was in itseK worth going miles to see. "Two Daughters of Eve" was also a very pretty picture. Besides these, scenic, topical, and comic pictures «'ere shown, and the audience went

away highly satisfied. Prior to the performance, some brass band nmsic wag played in front of the hall |, v the Levin Town Band, and during the progress of the pictures appro pnato music was played by a viol it and pin™ orchestra. The compa iy "*ill givo its next display on Frid.i .• ovoning- and on each' succeeding ,msda .v an d Friday. The new prv gramme will be advertised in dm. course.

At a meeting of the Lovin tfulwol committee, held in tho schoolroo m last night, it was decided to try to get another carrier to undertake to carry the school children betwaeJ Lovin and Porotawhau. One man

had been aproached by the committee, but had asked for £3 per week, ■and tho committee had notbpen able to givo this as the Education Board only allowed sixpence per head, and

the. committee ha<l had to mako up tho balance of the ton shillings per day practically out of their oiv r. funds. It was suggested that the committee approach the parents ,1 the children and see if they would give anything towards running a coach out there, hut it was pointed out that the parents of tho Kimheiley road children had been approached in the same way, and they would not give anything, and now the chil dren had to ride or come in por boot It was finally decided to offer th • work to some suitable man at TOs per day for all days that school is held. No doubt some philanthropist

will be found to do the work, Fut it is a pity that the parents couTd not see tbeir' way clear to help the committee and their own children, seeing that the children must get to school in some way. If there fs a coach running it saves the trouble of getting them a horse to ride, and in a coach tho children are protected from the weather,
