THE WHIRLWIND OF YOUTH ” —TO-NIGHT.

Gareth Hughes, who will perhaps linger in the minds of theatre-goers as “ Sentimental Tommy,” enacts an important role in ‘‘The Whirlwind of Youth,” the motion picture adaptation of A. Hamilton Gibhs’ recent bestseller, “ Soundings,” which comes to the Princess Theatre to-night as a Paramount production. In “ The Whirlwind of Youth,” Hughes plays the part of a country boy who falls desperately in love with Lois Moran, starred as Nancy Hawthorne. For so young a mail, Mr Hughes has had an unusually extensive and colorful theatrical career. In 1910, when only thirteen years of age, he joined another organisation, eventually essaying such roles as liassanio in ‘‘The Merchant of Venice,” and the king in “ Hamlet.” Coming to America in 1913, Gareth appeared with the Ben Greet players. This was followed by a long succession of important stages roles. Entering pictures later, he was a success 'from the start. “The Whirlwind of Youth” was directed by Rowland V. Lee. Donald Keith, Vera Voronina, and Alyce Mills are featured. Charles Lane and Larry Kent both have important parts. A topical and comedy will also be shown to-night.

CREYMOUTH MUNICIPAL BAND. CONCERT ON THURSDAY. The Orcymouth Municipal Rand which was unable to complete arrangements for a concert on Sunday night, notifies that a grand concert will be given in the Princess Theatre, Hokitika, on Thursday evening next, August 30th. The Greymouth Municipal Rand was acclaimed by the judge at the recent Christchurch contest as one of the best four bands in Australasia. The band has kept up that very high standard and is to-day a better playing organisation than it was then. Patrons can rest assured of a great musical treat. Popular prices will be charged: 2s and Is. Fuller particulars in later
