“Until I went t 6 Canada in 1923 T could never understand why the Canadians spent so much money in importing sausage casings from Now Zealand—about £370,030 a year it is now,” paid Mr J. W. Collins, the New Zealand Trade Commissioner to Canada, at the Auckland Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Thursday. “I found the explanation when I landed at Vancouver and went to a football match. I was accosted bv a small boy, who solicited business in these words: ‘Hot dog, ten cents, good for folks.’ In my travels through Canada I soon came to realise the enormous production and sale of the socalled ‘hot dog’ and did all I possibly could to increase the consumption of that delectable food. When lam among Canadians again I am going to use my best efforts to induce them to put in a bit of butter with the bread and mustard that always accompany the ‘hot dog.’ If they do it will mean at least another 10,COO toils a year.”

There was another bumper bouse at Everybody’s Pictures last evening, Princess Theatre holding a very large attendance. A capital programme was submitted. It opened with an educational film dealing with the rearing of sheep ill some of the difficult European country, and the wonderful resource and control of those in charge of the flock. Next came a section of the serial which always delights the juvenile section of the audience on a. Friday night. There were four short talkies dealing with vaudeville acts, and all were well reproduced. The instrumental items were given most pleasingly, an artist with a violin made the instrument speak, literally, and a violinist as a grotesque danger was surely a novelty. A banjoist also manipulated bis instrument in a remarkable way. The star picture told the story of a company of crooks, whose undoing was brought about rather humorously. The interest in the pourtrayal was well maintained throughout. The sound effects of city life were good, and the spoken portion came out fairly well all through. The instrumental music was capitally' reproduced. Altogether it was a very enjoyable programme, and the applause of the audience showed how much it was appreciated.
