PATRIOTIC PICTURES.

THE second night of Pictures for the North Auckland Aeroplane fund was held in Stewart's Theatre, on Tuesday night last. The attendance was good, the sum of £4 10s being taken at the door, besides a number of tickets that were sold outside. The only expenses incurred were film hire and pianist 30s, Mr Stewart having given the use of the theatre free of rent. Although all the cash and unsold tickets have not been returned to the Secretary, it is gratifying to know the sum of £12 4s is in hand from the two Picture Shows, The committee wish to thank all those who helped to make the affair a success, and special thanks are due to Messrs Becroft and Stewart for free hall rent, which is equivalent to a donation of at least |£2 2s each; and the operators, Messrs Becroft and J, Lambert, "junr., for giving their services free, an equivalent of. 10s' donation each.
