“It may interest you to know that several of the- large West End cinemas have now changed over to variety and dispensed .with films entirely,” writes Mr William Elmer, London manager for Charles Begg and Co., Ltd., to his principals in New Zealand. “They run a continuous '.performance commencing at . two o’clock, and run in the right direction for the music industry, as it reinti’oduces full orchestras, and a great portion of variety programmes consists of musical items. These continuous performances are meeting with success, and queues are continually r?.iting to gain admittance. For instance, the London Pavilion, box office receipts for last week were £3400, and this is only one. This idea will rio doubt extend to New Zealand eventually. Another item which may he of interest* to you is that accordion bands are coming into vogue.”

,On the whole fat stock was cheaper at the Metropolitan Market at Addington on Wednesday. Yardings generally were heavy. Fat cattle were numerous and large • consignments from the North' Island added to the attractiveness' of the offering. The northern cattle were t-ought keenly at -steady rates, but there was a decline in the value of local offerings. The fat sheep yarding was the heaviest for a very long time, over 8200 being yarded. The heavy supply caused a reduction in buyers’ limits, but the sale was steady at the new level. Ewes were from Is to 2s a head cheaper, and wethers were fully 2s lower. The lamb yarding was heavy, and met a discouraging sale. The best ■were Is a head down on last week’s rates, and lighter sorts up to 3s ’• a head lower. The amount of good veal was small, but killable sorts held last week’s rates. .Fat pigs sold at ruling prices.
