LATE LOCALS.
Peerless Pictures will screen at Woodstock on Thursday and Kokatahi on Friday, the Master picture entitled “Odds On,” a thrilling story of the Australian turf featuring Phyllis Gibbs and Arthur Taueiiert. and “Brigade.”—Advt.
Mild panic broke out among the lady occupants of the dress circle of a Wellington theatre on Friday evening when a giant rat suddenly made its appearance on the side curtain rod. With an excellent display of tightrope skill it ran to the end and dropped straight down into the circle. Fortunately lor unfortunately) it was interval at the time, and for a few moments the passage was more popular than the seats. Evidently the incident upset the peace of mind of more than one person, for when the light were extinguished once i more not a few shadowy forms left front seats on the dangerous side, for less comfortable ones at the back. The rat, which was almost as large as a kitten, evidently mistook the interval for the end of the programme, and the signal for this nightly raid on discarded chocolate boxes and dropped sweets.
