THE COLUMNIST I have a friend that owns a moving picture palace, I suppose I should call it a palace, to make him happy. I like to make him happy, he is such a genial soul anyhow. Well, this friend of mine. is] what we call a go-getter. He is on his toes most of the time. | When things are prosperous, he | is apt to be blue, because like | myself, he speculates at the] wrong time, but when every-| body else is down and out, he is| buoyant and bubbling. He quite often takes me into his confidence. He appreciates] my wisdom, and I in turn like his appreciation. It flatters me. Put yourself in my place. Does) it not please you, when someone | asks you to do things? Or to advise him or her on a given subject. Don't you swell up with benignity and importance? Of course you do. You are only human. Well this pal of mine has heen running Hollywood pictures since he put in the talkies. But since Premier Bennett came on the scene, it has become popular once in a while to talk British. So he came to me and said, "l have a notion to put in a series of Pritish pictures, and when they come, I want you to tell the publie, what you think about them."' Said 1, "That's alright, but the columns of this great weekly newspaper, are open to advertisers." I am not going to continue with inverted commas indefinite- ly over what he said, and what 1 said. 1 agreed to do what he wanted, only I had to see a few pictures first. Now in Owen Sound, Wiarton, | Ridgetown, Oskkosh or Peoria, I should have been furnished with a pass. My friend is for- getful. He overlooked the pass. He will probably forget to pay me for all this, in fact he may Anyhow, armed with my own money, 1 have studied several British pictures, and to thorough- ly imbibe the mise en scene, the entourage, the flair, and what not, and what else, I have digg- ed up enough simoleons to take my friends. In fact, after a good day of selling pork chops and corsets, I have filled several | seats at the theatre. What do I think of British pictures? Frankly .I like them. Put that down at the start. I do enjoy them very much. They are] different. The English charae-| ters therein, are not burlesqued;| they are natural. On the op-| posite side, the American man | or woman is not natural. In| turn they are unconsciously! burlesqued. This is why, so] many of my friends say, "That | American girl was a poor thing," or "That American man was a boob."" Now TI have read ecriti-| cisms of British pictures, but I} am not tinetured by these when 1 make my own. The English] sunlight, is not as bright as the | Californian. The shady scenes] are not so distinet. The finish is not so perfect, the action mot | go brisk. I have been looking, at 1931 pictures. When as I am told, the British pictures of late | 1932 and 1933 appear with all'| mechanical imperfections ironed | out. then I expect a "wow." | Another eriticism of a candid] friend of mine, was rather] | Mill Hall. | Drive and Dance on Monday. | April 17th, 1 with almost a full complement { when this subject will be gone | this week, | upon the audience.

CHURCH ORGANIZATION SLIDING Young Rector Unable to Avert Downfall. On Monday evening the Edyes were hosts to the ladies of St. Luke's Guild with their hus- bands at their palatial far home. Teams for the enjoyable sleigh ride were generously con- tributed by Mr. Winterbottom. Leaving the Rectory promptly | at 7.30, capacity loaded sle.ghs! with the younger element dis- porting themselves in mirthful contortions on toboggans tied on behind, beguiled the hour or so it takes to reach Dennyhurst. Greeted on arrival by the Mesdames Edye and augmented with warmer clothes, where necessary, the party left for the toboggan slide. No roller coast- er could compete with it for a thrill. The ladies so eager for their first ride became very un- selfish when it came to the see- ond, discreetly and solicitiously looking round to see if some ene wouldn't like their turn. Returning to the house at eleven what could beat eracking logs blazing in the big fireplace, a bounteous lunch, piano selee- songs.

HOCKEY GAME TO KENORA Dryden's hopes for a win in Canada's famous outdoor sport, hockey, went west Saturday night, when Kenora's Senior Juveniles defeated Dryden dJun- iors 6-4. This is the final outside game for the year and Dryden has mot had a win. So things sure look black for our boys. The score does not say that our juniors were any way slack- ers. They kept the largest crowd seen at the rink this winter at fever pitch and there was not one slow minute in the whole hour and the crowd sure voiced The game was clean and fast. DOMINION FIELD SECRETARY, C.G.G., This week has been a memor- able one for Rangers, Guides and Brownies in Dryden. Miss Kathleen MeMahon of Winnipeg, newly appointed Field Secretary of the Girl Guide for the Dominion, paid an offi- cial visit to the Dryden Packs Miss McMahon's Guiding ac- tivities began Monday afternoon. ers from both Companies. for an informal diSeussion on Guide work in general. At four o'elock a visit was paid to the Brownie Packs, over the occasion in the Town Hall The Brownies were delighted with their visitor, who taught them new told them stories and played games with them. 'To show their apprecia- tion, the Brownies gave Miss McMahon the Grand Salute. During the Field Secretary's visit, every Guide had been terribly busy polishing her badges and belt, brushing her hat, ete, and, no doubt, worrying her frantic to get her uniform press- songs, in blue who assembled in evening, ready to do honour to the, visiting Guider. The two Companies lined up in Patrols on either side of the Hall. and welcomed Miss Me- Mahon with the full salute. Mrs H. Morison, Captain of the 2nd Guide Company, introduced Miss McMahon, who then took charge for the evening. A thorough inspection was first on the program and how every Guide did fervently hope that she had tied her tie with lhe reef knot! The two Com- panies, however, really did pres- ent a smart appearance, and Miss McMahon was quite favor- ably impressed. ~The Guides were then drilled in a new way of bringing on the Colours for Both teams missed numerous chances to score. Through not] passing or being over-anxious, Dryden fell down badly there. A little more team work and we will have a real team for next year. For Kenora, Lerioux was the! most outstanding layer, his stick- handling was wonderful. Fraine, Kelley, Cox and White were very effective on the forward line and showed great work in their back-checking. The rest of the boys being close seconds. For Dryden, Berrey was the outstanding star. His rushes and defence work were spectacular, but never scored. Loutitt dazzled the erowd with his stick-hanl- ling and checking, and was tower of strength for Dryden and a menace to Kenora. Freed- man was right in line with him. but missed many chances to score by not passing. Gammon worked like a Trojan at center] and was very effective, but missed some beautiful chances by being over-anxious. Whiteley was very good at centre and his poke cheque noticeable. The | rest of the boys worked hard | and with practice will be in the lime light soon.
