THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

ANSWERED IN “CHEATED HEARTS.’’

The story of Herbert Rawlinson’s great starring vehicle, “Cheated Hearts,” to be screened in Shannon to-morrow night, may be roughly summarised as follows: Barry Gordon has the curse of his old Virginia family, the drink' habit, which has caused his lather’s death. Barry’s brother, Tom, hasn’t—and Barry thinks that means a lot to Muriel Beekman, his guardian’s daughter, whom he loves. He, sees her apparently permitting Tom’s attentions, draws the conclusion she loves Tom, and leaves the country alter a drunken orgy. In Paris he reads of Tom’s capture by Moroccan bandits, and goes to find him. Muriel and her, lather follow from America to Morocco, and a dramatic adventure brings to Barry Gordon the strength to conquer himself and find happiness.

A" tale that has charmed multinudes of readers for a generation past has now been prepared for the screen in “The Jucklins,” a story of romance, passion and power that has not a dull moment from start to finish. .It will be screened at tdie local theatre in conjunction with a splendid programme of supports on Monday night.

try, being lost through the ball going to the dead ball area. The game then moved to the other end, and Horowhenua .again sought safety by forcing as the final whistle went. Mr T. Parata refereed with his usual efficiency. THE TEAMS ENTERTAINED.

Both teams were entertained at dinner in the evening at the Levin Hotel by the Horowhenua Rvigby Union, after which a social hour was spent. Mr W. Thomson, chairman of the Management Committee ' of the Horowhenua Union, presided, and expressed the pleasure of the Union in welcoming the Wanganui team to Levin.

After the toast of “The King,” Mr J. W. Procter proposed “The Wanganui Union,” and said it was as tar back as 1905 since a team from that Union had been last in Levin. The game was returned in 1914, the match being actually played the day after war was declared by Great Britain. Needless to say that ended any further games for the next few years, but now that matters were back to normal again he hoped that there would be more home and hoine matches between Wanganui and .Horowhenua. (Applause.) Mr F. Burton, manager of the Wanganui team, replied, and said it was a rather difficult matter to meet Horowhpnua as often as they would wish owing to their being so many unions claiming engagements with Wanganui. He complimented the > Horowhenua team on their play that day, and considered Wanganui lucky to win. The visitors appreciated very much the fine reception they had received in Levin, and hoped it w r ould not be long before they were able to return the compliment, (Applause.) “The Horowhenua Union” was proposed by Mr G. Pownall, president of the Wanganui Rugby Union, who said he was greatly pleased with the bright, attractive and , aggressive football' shown by the Horowhenua team. He was strongly of opinion that our backs as a rule did not, attack enough. This was affecting our standard of play, and was a marked feature between teapis of say 15 or 20 years ago and those of the present day. Horowhenua that da,y had shown plenty of attack, and the game was pleasing to watch. He thanked the Horowhenua Union for its fine hospitality. The toast was replied to by the chairman, who hoped the visitors would have a safe journey home after their success on the field.

The singing of “Auld Lang Syne” concluded the proceedings, but before dispersing Mr Isheirwood complimented the visitors on the excellent behaviour of the team, remarking that it was one of the best he had ever had in his house.
