There was a wliolesale disappearance of overcoats from the Waipawa Municipal Theatre on Friday niglit, during the progi'ess of the school hall, "VVhether they were stolen or taken by mistake has yet to be ascertained, but there are suspicious circumstances in regard to the affair which need clearing up.

The recently-acquired park at Waipukurau, purchased by the resjdents of Ceutral Hawke's Bav as a memorial to the late Mr Paul Hunter, of Porangahau, is looking greatly improved as the result of the epiployment of a number of men for the past few months. Many shrubs have beeif planted, whilst winding paths have boen formed to give aceess. Situatqd as it is on the higliest point of the borough, the park possesses a heautiful panoraraic view right across the plnins. The memoria] will undouhtedy be for ever a very fitting tribute to the memory of the one for whom it stapds,. "The Red Dance." Fine story, great cast, ai'tistjc directien and splendid entertajnmcut— just about describes "The Recl Dance," which will be presented at the Waipukurau Theatre to-morrow niglit. It is a stqry of Russia during the Revolution, with Dolores Del Rio and Charles Farrell, of "Seventli Heaven" fame, in the stellar roles. The heautiful Mexican gives probnbly her greatest performance, since her role of Charmaine in "What Price Glorv!" as the peasant girl who becomes the famous Red Dancer of Moscow and Jeader of the revolution. Charles FaiTell is equafiy effective as Prince ICugene, wljose sympathies are with the people, but who in the tunuoil of rehellion is sentenced to die beforo tho firing sqnad. These two young players furnisli the romance of the story, whioh abodnds in tbrills sncb as wben tbe Cossaclis are sliown sweeping down on a defenceless village, tbe revolt of the prisoners .in the salt mines and many simjlar episodes. Tliere is much humour, fine romance, and mnch beauty of scenea-y in this production. Reserves at Wood's, 'phone 294S.
