What is probably the most notable match that lias taken place on the turf in New Zealand will be screened in Shannon on Saturday, when the local public will be able to see Gloaming deieat The Hawk. The picture is exciting a lot of interest and should not be missed by any who can enjoy sport for its own sake. Another great stage play has reached the screen and, as a film, bids fair to eclipse all its previous records. This time it is the famous Henry Blossom play, “Checkers,” the racehorse drama in which Thomas W. Boss won so much fame. Under the title of “Gold Heels,” it will he shown in conjunction with the Gloaming-Hawk picture. According to advance reports the racing scenes m which the unforgettable equine speed king, “Remorse,” wins spectacularly, are the most thrilling mtsof action ever shown on the screen.’ “WINE” —A REMARKABLE PICTURE

His associations became distasteful, but necessary to his new business. Even his wife, a high society matron, is dragged into the sordid atmosphere of illicit liquor.
