GUIDES AND BROWNIES On Alonday the Taihape Girl Guides and Brownies visited Ohakune for the purpose of attending a rally which had been arranged for the King’s Birthday. The party left by train at 6.50 a.m. and arrived at Ohakune at 9.30 a.m. The Guides were under the command of their captain, Aliss James, while Brown Owl Airs ScKicombe and Tawny Owl Airs Constable were in charge of the Brownies. Some 14 Guides from Rangataua joined the train at that station. The party were met at the Ohakune railway station by the district commissioner, Airs Blacklock, of Ohakune, and proceeded to the Ohakune .Technical High School, where morning tea was served. Afterwards the Guides and Brownies assembled outside for the rally which opened with a march past, the •commissioner taking the salute from each company. The Ohakune Guides then gave a Alaori welcome and the Raetihi Guides a poi dance. The latter wore Alaori mats for the poi dance, which was given as a welcome to the visiting Guides and Brownies. The next event was a flag display, in formation by the Taihape Brownies, followed by a flag demonstration of the composition of the Union Jack, by the Taihape Guides. The Raetihi Brownies gave a fairy item with a wishing well, and this was followed by a display bv the Taihape Brownies. A sword dance was performed by the Taihape Guides and a pa»ck game by the Taijiape Brownies followed this event. The remainder of the time was occupied with pack and patrol games and dances. Luncheon was served at 12.10 p.m., refreshments being provided by the Ohakune Girl Guido Committee. Before the rally concluded the district commissioner, who was presented with a bouquet, thanked the visiting Guides and Brownies for their attendance and hoped that the rally would be the forerunner of many more. Aliss James responded on behalf of the Taihape Girl Guides, who together with the Taihape

Brownies, left Ohakune on the return journey to Taihape at 1.15 p.m. and arrived home at about 4 p.m. after a most enjoyable outing. It is hoped that a big rally will be held at Taihape at a later date and that. Guides and Brownies from all towns adjacent to Taihape will attend. On Saturday of this week the Taihape Brownies will give a farewell party to two of their number, Eva and Eley Wong Nam, who are leaving shortly with their parents on a visit to China.

AIAJESTIC CINEMA ”Walls of Gold,” the new Fox photoplay based on the novel of the same name by Kathleen Norris, opens at the Majestic Theatre to-day and is easily the best of the Norris novels picturised for the screen. Sallv Eilers, Norman Foster and Ralph Alorgan have the featured roles. The story of the picture deals with rhe problem of a young and beautiful girl who must choose between love and the comforts of wealth. From the searching pen of Airs Norris comes a character that Sally Eilers plays to perfection. It gives her every opportunitp to display her truly fine talents for dramatic depiction. Norman Foster, cast in the masculine lead opposite her again proves himself as worthy as he was in the role of her lover in “State Fair.” Ralph Alorgan, in the part of a middle-aged romantic, with doubtful ethics and peculiar artistic tastes, is superb. Others in the cast who deserve much i credit for making ‘‘AValls of Gold” an outstanding film are Rosita Atoreno, Spanish actress and dancer, Rochelle Hudson, Fredrie Santley, Alarjorie Gateson, Alary Afason and Margaret Seddon. Kenneth AlacKenna did a fine job of the direction.
