Watkins, of Detroit, son j of Mr. Richard Watkins, 13 Pamela Street, Mountain Ash, has joined the 3rd Canadian Contingent. It is a fine example for our kith and kin in the States. If this should catch the eye of any of them, let them remember the old saying A little help is worth a ton of pity." It isn't far from the lhnd of the Stars and Stripes to that of the Maple Leaf. Bread.—It is most alarming to us people at home that our poor fellows, held in Germany, should be continually calling for bread. Pte. Charles Moore, of the Wiltshires, nephew of Mr and Mrs Dainton, Navigation Street, Moun- tain Ash, appeals for bread.

HACCAR'S, MOUNTAIN ASH. Next Week: "The Lure of London" and "The Master Key." Mr. Bert Richards has gathered to- gether a startling programme for Whit-Alonday and Tuesday and Wed- nesday, including that great drama of London life, "The Lure of London."

MEMS FROM THE MOUNT. What made Jimmy Wilde? Please put it in the mems," writes a correspondent, "about the Grand Stand on Oxford Street pavements on Sunday evenings. What are the special constables doing, couldn't they do a bit to move 'em on? What Ho, Memo." Righto, now Specialo's, get on a movo. Two Clubbites were discussing the re- ported rupture between Mr. Winston Churchill and Lord Fisher. Another member just happened to hear the last- named—Why I just saw him go up the street. "lhe gravity of the discussion descended to Boisterous hilarity when it became known that it was Fisher the Cobbler of Ceiber he meant. That's not the latest, but it's Fisher's Last. Two well-known recruits in the past week are Fred Mills, elder son of Mr and Airs Fred Mills, Mountain Ash, and young Jimmy Huebeck, son of Dr. and Mrs. Huebeck, Austin Street. Both these gentlemen have now both sons in the Army. That well-known delver into ante- deluvarian subjects, Air. J. S. Mugford, President of the Cosmos, is now on a visit of research to the famous Cockle Beds at Moreton Hampstead. 1 hope that this crisis in his Crustacean affairs will not unbalance his oerebellum. We shall await his next lecture with pins for cockles. A curious coincidence in connection with the tragic death of poor Tom Davies, Ceridwen Street, is that his brother Alma died exactly 12 months previously to the day. I met Brownie and his big brother Harry last week. Two big brown bonny bandsmen. Protegees of Willie's and a credit to him. The joke of a sale by Private Treaty has been going the rounds. Of course, ifs as old as the hills, but the real explanation is that Private Treaty had to sell because the General inflicted Corporal Punishment on the Left Ten- ant. Enough to make the great War Lord resign, isn't it? That clever little band at the New Theatre is going stronger than ever. Mr Collier, the conductor, played as a solo, Kettlebey's Phantom Melody," the winning composition of a contem- porary's £100 prize. He followed this up by playing Suppe's Poet and Peas- ant." not bad for a small provincial town. =========== My grandfather had a fine collection of silver, which he bequeathed to my father on condition that it should re- main in the family."

Aberdare Cinema. j' Next Week: The Ghost Breaker and Price of Discipline." For some years now the public of Aberdare have looked to Clarke's the Man for first class entertainment. This is especially so at holiday time. The holiday week next week will need specially catering for. The holiday- tripper will miss his cheap run to the sea and to the country side, and for these people as well as the stay-at- homes Clarke's the Man's catering. A remarkable dramatic subject, The Ghost Breaker," by that renowned photo-play writer, Jesse L. Lasky, will be shown on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. The subject quite novel with an abundance of adventure, and has been specially chosen by Clarke's the Man as his piece de resistance for the holidays. The story is of the Aragon family treasure—lost for years and restored by accident to Princess Maria Theresa. She is examining her jewels when from a secret portion of the casket a roll of parchment falls out, giving up the much wanted secret. A locket has been stolen by Carmencita, her maid, who on her death bed tells the Princess to whom she sold the locket contain- ing the valuable diagram. The won- derful search for the locket with its series of stirring sensations follows. Love, jealousy, hate and assassination make up a most exciting plot. Ghosts" are introduced to frighten interlopers. These supposed emissaries of another world are trapped and in ghost language, successfully laid. The treasure is recovered, and a pretty love scene concludes this charming play. Next week-end Clarke's the Man screens a striking story of a father's over-severity. It is entitled, Price of Discipline," and is a magnifioent film with a beautiful human touch. The leading character is Little Marie Fro- met, who appeared with such splen- did success in "Les Miserables." The Cinema will be open during the holidays from 10.30 a.m. to 10.30 p.m., a pontinuous 12 hours show. The Children's Saturday Matinee will be continued.
