GRAND MOVIE BALL. BRILLIANT SUCCESS^ On Wednesday night last in the picture'theatre the grand movie ball took place, and was an unqualified success from every point of vfcw. Visitors from Papakura, Onehunga, Alfriston and WaISJtJHj were present, and the long string of motor-cars outside the theatre gaie the street quite an animated appearance. The music, provided by Messrs Walkers' orchestra, and the floor be-

ing in good order, made dancing highly enjoyable. Much of the success of the evening was due to Mr. G. J. Rogers, who carried out the secretarial duties, and to the enthusiastic committee, who worked hard before and during the function.
