Macdermott, in arranging a pieture entertainment in the Majestic Theatre last evening to provide Christmas liampers for citizens of Rotorua in distressed cireumstances met with an ample reward and was probably one of the most successful charitable functions held in the town. Both the cirele and lower floor of the theatre were praetically filled to capacity and although figures were fiot available last night, it was stated that the fund will benefit to a con•siderable extent. The programme, consisting of topical news reels and '"A Magnificent Lie," featuring Ruth Chatterton well rewarded the patrons for their help in a deserving cause.
