AMUSEMENTS.

TOWN HALL PICTURES. "ONE DOLLAR SID." i ■ -o ■ The butt of the niggers, and the jest of the whites ,was;the. shifty-eyed vagrant who stood on the block to be sold at auction. A wEke "man, a human soul, for sale, and the highest and only bid was one dollar. A girl's bid, at that, and yet she only bought him out of pity. She didn't know that he would become her husband. Warren .Kerrigan as the despairing young'lawyer who has been brought to ithe depths through'drink, gives' one of the finest impersonations of his career in "One Dollar Bid," his latest Paralta feature. The picture furnishes an entertaining romance with plenty of heart, interest, and though the subject seems improbable, yet there is still in force in Kentucky a law whereunder a man with no visible means of support can be sold into servitude for a year. Lois Wilson plays the girl admirably and with great feeling. The Mary Page serial will also be shown under the title of "The Accusing Eye.'.' . The same programme will be.; repeated to-morrow. SALVATION ARMY CONCERT. A concert in aid of the .Salvation Army self-denial fund will be held in the Presbyterian Hall on Thursday (to-morrow) evening at 8 o'clock. The ' low price of 1/- will be charged for admission and the concert promises to be a most enjoyable one. The good work of the Army, needs no commendation, and the public are certain to ■ accord it .their support. In past years the Taihape effort has been among the best, in connection with the selfdenial week, and this year a special effort is being made to maintain that honourable position. VENETIAN BALL. IN AID OF HOSPITAL FUND. ' 'I On Thursday, 28tK October, the 'Returned Soldiers' Association will hold a Venetian Ball in the Town Hall, the proceeds of which will be devoted to ! the Taihape Hospital Fund.
