•Something delightfully fresh to theatregoers will be the production of “Snow White and the Seven Dv.a rfs.” The leading roll of Princess , Snow White has fallen to the lot of Mies Cora Lynn, who takes the part of the sweet humble maiden in a very admirable manner. The jealous queen is portrayed by Miss Jessie McMullan who in duct numbers with Snow White is very pleasing indeed. The Prince, Miss Milley, Coidson and Carl (the huntsman) Master Ron. McDoug•J, are parts equally well played. Max and Hans (two of the seven dwarfs) are impersonated by Connie Staines and Reg Wool bouse while minor parts as forest children are carried out by Joyce Andrews, Ethel Burrough, Mary Groufsky, Alison Perry and Jean Coulson. Altogether there are over thirty different musical numbers including solos, duets, quartettes and choruses portrayed in four delightful scenes which should hold the interest of all to the*very pleasing finale.

Eight volcanoes in the Andes between Argentina and Chile, thought to be extinct, suddenly developed intense activity a few days ago. Plans were made to evacuate by railway the whole population of Mendoaa proving, numbering 80,000 people, if the situation became more serious than after the first outbreak. But after two days of terror the eruptions decreased in violence,- and evacuation measures were unnecessary. Despite the remarkable nature of the eruption, which blew volcanic ash so high in the air that over 3000 tons fell in Buenos Aires, over 600 miles away, it is officially announced that not a .single life lias been lost and no material damage has been done. Two million square kilometres were covered with volcanic ash, and some of-the finer material is probably being carried in the upper atmosphere, as was the case after the eruption of Krahatoa. in 1883, when for two or three years .afterwards brilliant suiieets were explained by the. suspension of this volcanic dust in the atmosphere.
