A Big Picture A picture of outstanding interest, "The Secret of the Blue Room," has been booked for screening at the Majestic Theatre, Rotorua, on next Friday and Saturday. This is one of j the "talkie" sensations of the sea- j son, and is sure to attract big honses. i It was particularly popular in Anck- j land where it concluded on September 14 a continhous rnn of 18 performances at the St. James. Rotorua is lucky to obtain such an early release of the film after the big city.

Johnson instead of Mr. S. T. Johnston e. I Saturday's Wrestling Matc'h Since ringside reserved seat book^ ings opened for the wrestling match between Hal Rumberg and Count

Friendshjp Totvards Dominion Speaking at the luncheon of the Rotorua Rotary Club yesterday, Dis-trict-Governor T.
