ENTERTAINMENTS.
GASTON GLASS.
This talented actor will appear at the Town Hall to-night in what has been termed the most remarkable picture made. The story is laid down in Winnipeg and portrays the discovery of anthracite coal for which that Province is now famous. An intimate detail of the inner workings of a coal mine is also depicted and some startling happenings circle round the coal mine. Gaston Glass, who achieved prominence in this kind of picture some time back is now rapidly coming to the fore with similar pictures each of which can be classed as “out of the ordinary.” . On Wednesday next Thos. Meighan will appear in “Our Leading Citizen,” and on Friday night Zane _ Grey’s “The Last Trail,” will be screened at usual prices. ROYAL THEATRE. To-night at the Royal Theatre appears the long-looked for “Penrod.” All the impishness of boyhood jumps to the screen in “Penrod.” Produced by Marshall Neilan from Booth Tarkington’s inimitable stories, the picture makes no pretence of “high brow” study but offers an ebullency of modem ' boyhood for sheer entertainment. The great success of community singing has decided the manager of the Royal to extend Mr Abel Rowe’s v engagement in order to give Saturday night patrons a chance of this most enjoyable innovation. On Monday night “Scratch my Back,” will be screened. It is a Goldwyn production and can be truthfully described as one of the brightest entertainments of the season. DANCE. A dance wll be held in the Masonic Hall on Monday evening next, in aid of the Oroua Downs Soldiers’ Queen. The committee has arranged for special music and catering. A good evening’s enjoyment is promised all who attend. Admission: Gents 2/-, ladies 1/-.
. MONSTER. FESTAL FAIR. The managers of the local Methodist Church have decided to hold another monster festal fair in the Town Hall on Thursday and Friday, March 22nd and 2Srd, on similar lines to that held last year. There will be stalls, side-shows, picture entertainments, etc. Admission will be free and full value in goods and amusement will be given for every shilling spent. Further ’• details will appear later. y'"' * COMMUNITY SINGING. At the community singing in the. Royal.last night, Mr Abel Rowe paid a very fine tribute to Mass Morgan who in response to a general invitation for a soloist, sang a verse of “When the Great Red Dawn is Shining.” The choruses were sung heartily by the audience under Mr Rowe’s leadership. During the screening at a later stage, Mrs Hunt , sang “Love’s old Sweet Song” very acceptably. The accompaniments “ were played by Miss Patterson. Tonight Mr Rowe proposes to try out the audience with some new and favourite choruses. Mr Rowe informs us that Foxton possesses some excellent vocal talent and the singing as a whole compares more than favourably with other centres.
