SHIP TURNS TURTLE. Norwegiaul Vessel's Crew Landed at Swansea. About 4 p.m. on Friday, 14 shipwrecked sailors, of the 8.s. Rollon, of Norway, which was capsized on Friday morning off Lundy Island, were brought to the Sailors' Home. Swansea. The vessel left Pnarth on Thursday evening with coal for St. Malo. Very rough weather was experienced during the, night, and at about 8.30 a.m. the cargo loosened, and the vessel turned turtle, precipitating its crew into the water. Only one boat could be launched, and that also was up- set. Ultimately the vessel was sunk. Six men clung for an hour to the up-turned boat and others to a hatch. The whole of the men wexe in the water for about an hour. When quite exhausted, they were all picked up by an Admiralty boat and conveyed to Swansea. All the crew, consisting of Capt. Albert Hansen, 10 Norwegians, two West Indians, one Spaniard and one Swede, were rescued The men are being cared for by the Shipwrecked Mariners' Asso- ciation.

GALE AND DAMAGE. JORT TALBOT. The whole of the plate gla.ss of one side of the shop front cf Mr. Dann, Station- road, Port Talbot, was smashed during the gale. An outide glass case at Gut- ridge's bazaar, Aberavon, was broken. A good deal of minor damage to build- ings we.3 done in the district. MORRISTON. During Friday's gale considerable dam- age was done at Morriston. The roof of a tinpl&ie works which is situated on the river side, was blown off, and fell in th-e river. The windows of many houses were blown in. BURRYPGRT. On Thursday night and all day Friday a great storm prevailed at Burryport. On Friday evening, while the storm was at its height, waves dashed over the pie.r. Hundreds of people watched the scene. A lot of damage has been -done. Slates have been blown off, trees uprooted, and glass doors, etc., blow off. GORSEINON. The village has not suffered much from the effects of the gale. A large weatiier- board at Brvnteg Chapel was ripped from its position, some household boundary walls w-ere blown down, and one end of the corrugated iron roof of the old Drill Hall, now used as a mission hall and re- named Carmel. has suffered.

WAR HOSPITAL CONCERT. I The concert held on .Friday at Victoria Red Cross Hospital was arranged by Mr. Charles Taylor, West Cross, and it was one of the best yet held. The programme was full of variety, and each item was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Selina Orum gave a fine- rendering of II Baccio." and .Nfic..s Kate Eaton contributed A Perfect Day" with teliing effect. Mr. George Parkes was heard to advantage in The Adrian Sea," and Mr. Bryn Francis gave "Friend of Mine" and "Dick Turpin') in capital style. Violin solos were exe- cuted by Miss Eva Beynon..A.C.V., and hilarity was caused by Mr. Chas. Taylor. A feature of the concert was the playing of several well-known H)n;¡;; on wine-, glasses by Prof. Harry Lovell, who alfo entertained on the concertina, and fairy bell harp. The singing of A Little Bit of Heaven" by Master Willie Hutchinson was much enjoyed. The accompanist was Miss Amy Loxton. L.R.A.M., and the chairman Mr. W. R. Allen. On the pro- position of Sergt. Kettle, seconded by Corpl. Hammond, a vote of thanks was accorded the artistes. Mr. Taylor, re- (*ponding. said they owed a debt of grati- tude to Mr. David James for his kindness in allowing the artistes free passes on the rai lway, also for the generou- way he treated the wounded soldiers. The chair- man endorsed the sentiments ex-nref-ed by Mr. Taylor.

THE BOXING RING. Plenty of Rivalry in the Swansea District. The Aberavon Tournament. (Bv PENDRAGON.") Busy. times are in store for local boxers. There has been much matoh-making and; a good deal of controversy in the course of which men from the Swansea Valley, Britonferry and AmmaJiiord have been championed in earnest. Mr. Jones, of Ystalyfera, a brother of Young Sharkey, I is after a return match for his protege with" Ebbie" Thomas, the Britonferry Cornstalk. It will be recalled that when the two met at Swansea a few weeks ago the verdict went to the 'Ferry man on points. It was a somewhat crude exhibi- tion, an d in Ystalyfera the decision went I down badly, the more so because the same evening Chris. Langdon had to cry Ó, enough to another Britonferry man in the person of Billy James. Which re- minds me that Langdon is also out for another match when he has finished chas- ing Arthur Bishop, of Caerphilly. SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE. With the object of forming a first-hand estimate of what Billy Beynon's chances against Ruddick were I went to vtji'i-avon last Saturday night to see him beat .Billy" James. As i.c happened the match did not help one in the least. Bey- non was never really extended. That James is a good boy no one can doubt, but he was up against a man rich in ex- perience—and he was nervous. His good sportsmanship was testified to when he went down in the third round. It was a blow perilously near the belt, and I have seen men who have been similarly hit in- sist that there had been a foul. James, however, told the referee plainly that he had been hit in the stomach, and Mr. Barnett very considerately gave h:m time to try to recover. This he ccc-d rot do, so the verdict went to the cz44 It- holder. AN UNLUCY BOXER. By the time these notes appear the match between Louis Puddick and Bey- non, at the Swansea Empire, will have been decided. Writing before the event, I confess that Bemon's chances have not impressed me. Ruddick is a younger, moreover he is as "tough as nalÍls and can stand any amount of punishment. He is not the spectacular boxer that Beynon j is, but he is a great in-fighter. Beynon | has been unlucky in all his big bouts since the days when Lcdoux beat him at i Cardiff. He has vulnerable spots of which his opponents have long taken care- fnl note. THE PROMISE OF PUGH. The promise shown by Mog Pugh, of Aberavon, in his recent contest with Arthur Bishop its being abundantly justiied. Lat II Saturday nighi he defend a game iad from named Harry Morris on point* by plying a. skilful left. Ho shapes like a man rich in experience, yet hi. important bouts can be numbered en the fingers of one hand. Of the other contests staged, that between Vvyrdham Stelinc-ug (Meiyn) and Bogey GrrifiiiiK (Briwnierry) was, per- haps, the most interesting. Davee won on points, and deserved to. Oeorge Devine, a Londoner, showed a good knowledge of the pugilistic art, but be was obviously out of condition, and -?rulur Moore, of 'Paibac'ta, by whom he ?aa cpp<?ed, pucished him bad?y. So much eo, in fact, that in the,i fourth round the referee stopped the con- test. STILL A POWER. That Digger Stanley ie still a potent draw- ing card was shown by the attendance thie week at the Ring, the big^&at for weeks pt. What is naore, tixi old cham- pion delighted many lovers of the noble art by his clever And resourceful display, which was crowned by richly deserved vie- to in twenty rounds. The risiag you us Bermondsey star, Tom Noble, made the mistake of aliowing Stanley to order the fight. The Digger was permitted to make his own pace, aad ao he is far from youth- ful th: suited him excellently. Noble be- gan well, but in the third round Stanley took a hand in the leading- succe-vfu'.ly, and the other wae doirrr a. lot of it for many rounds. l~obie> was often backing away to the rop-ee from the Digger's lejda. lie would counter with some thrustful strokes, but none of them could shake the coolness and confidence cf the ki'd from Fulham. Realising that he was beg-inning to get behind, JSoble ralli-ecl towards the .-•lose and forced the fighting for all that was in him But the effort came tco late. Nothing but a decisive punch could turn the tide, and ae that wes not forthcoming Noble received a eet-baek. It was a most entertainng bout, weU and for the mot-t part clearly contested., and rotobi-e par- ticularly for the first-class generalship of the winner. THE DATE FIXED. The contest promoted by Mr. Jack Cal- ;glian between Jimmy Wilde, the fly- weight champion, and Young Zulu Kil. y.-ho is copiing here with the reputation of being the best 8st boy in America, will be decided in London on the afternoon of December 18. The men are matched under fly-weight championship conditions, the distance being twenty 3-min. round s and the weight 8st, the time of going to Kcale being fixed at 12 noon on the day of boxing.

A MAMETZ WOOD HERO. Swansea Territorial Gains I the Military Medal. Sergeant W. J. Bavin, of the WeJsh Regiment, who was presented by the War Minister at Cardiff on Friday with the Military Medal for bravery at Mametz Wood, is a Swansea man, and prior to mobilisation was engaged at the Anglo- French Nickel Works. Tventy-nine years of age, he has served eight years in the Swansea Territorial and Volunteer Forces, and was on active service in France for 22 months. He was admitted to the Wnlsh Metropolitan War Hospital at Whitchurch on the 5th -alt.

STAGE AND STALLS. ————— ————— On Monday next, t]?* attraction at the Grand Theatre will be Mr. H. B. Irving? Savoy success The Case of Lad Camber," which will be played nightly The play ran for over 200 performances in Loadon, and it was agreed that it was one of the best plays, from the ready pen of Horace Anne^ley V-achell. The play teems with epigrams and clever lines, and there are plenty of good comedy, scenes. Mr. Irving's part of Dr. Napier will be in the capable hands of Mr. Ed-- mund Kennedy, and he will be sup- ported by Mr. Frank Bertram, Mr. Ber- nard Copping, Miss Dorothy Dewhurst, Miss Edith Cruiksbanks, and the daughter of the well-known actore, Mr. and Mrs. Kendal, who will appear as Lady Camber. Miss Dorothy Kendal Grinnston played leads through America with Miss Olga Nether sole. From there she was engaged for a starring engage- ment in Australia. This was so success- ful that she remained there for three years, and her engagement for Lady Cam- ber is her first English appearance after her world-tour. Mr. Vachell has been the most prolific of any author since war was declared-first with the Search- lights. then Quinney's," The Case of Lady Camber," Who is He," Fieh- pingle," and he is part author of the present Haymarket play. Hot and Cold," one of the best mounted and thoroughly well played revues which has had the support of many audiences, will pay a visit to the Empire on Monday next, when some in- novations in the cast and business will be noticed. Besides the inimitable A. A. BaseoHib and Herbert Bolingbrokf, there is a newcomer in the cast, Donald Hackoy. Miss Ethel Oliver and Miss Dorothy Frostick, the clever dancer, are filling the leading ladies parts, and the big beauty chorus has lost none of its bright attractiveness. The visit should confirm the favourable opinions secured on its first appearance by this, one of the best of Karno productions. Magini, who pays a return visit, is a veritable wizard of the violin. He simply makes it talk. A master oFf touch and technique, he wields his bow with astonishing effects, and is equally at home whether rendering ragtime, classical or the simpler melodies. An excellent item to precede the revue will be provided by Bert Weston, the popular comedian and an all-roimd favourite, while the latest war films complete the programme. ,A masterpiece of romance, love and ad- venture, The Heart of Paula," featuring Ignore UlriAh and Forrest Stanley, in this wonderful Pallas film is the star of a very big programme at the Picture House for Monday next. The Triangle-Keystone is By Stork Delivery," in which Mack Swain makes a frantic effort to find his boy baby in order to claim the money from uncle, which creates a furore of laijghter. Chapter 23 The Diamond from the Sky (" The Double Cross") is also shown. For the week-end Sal- vation Joan," featuring the world-famous comedy artiste, M^ss Edna May (" The Belle of New York "). Miss Edna May received £ 20,000 for this, her first appear- ance on the silent stage. -The whole of this amount was handed over to the Red Cross Fund. How has time dealt with our old favourite, Edna May? Is she as beautiful, and is her acting the same as ever?" That the film answers these qu; tions for u, relieving our very natural and kindly meant curiosity in the best of ways, is, and must remain, its cltief attraction. Every cinema patron should see thi? wonderful film next week. Triangle-Keystone enthusiasts will enjoy The Judge," in which Louise Fazenda is a too charming manicurist. A terrific production in two parts' by the Lubin Company entitled The Beast," and Pathe's Animated War Gazette will be sh own nightly. The programme at the Castle Cinema for the forthcoming week will be found of usual high merit and interest. For Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the star film will be one of the Lasky Co.'s latest screen successes, "The Trail of Ixmesome Pine." The motif is a most. attractive one dealing with the life of an old moonshiner," or an illicit whisky distiller and his daughter June. The principal characters are sustained by Charlotte Walker and Theodore Roberts, and, it is claimed that they have never appeared to better advant- age. In fact it is a fine drama with a heart-appealing love 6tory, and abound- ing in stirring situations and charming scenes. The comedy side of the pro- gramme is also carefully selected, and will include By Stork Delivery," a two- part Triangle-Keystone, in which Mack Swain makes a frantic effort to find his boy baby ifi order to claim the money from uncle, is full of fnn from start to finish. On Thursday Matrimony," a live-part Triangle drama, will .be soreened. If anyone were disposed to doubt Betty Nansen's claim to be known as the Bern- hardt of the silent stage, her remarkable and powerful acting in The Serpent would soon bring home conviction to the most sceptical. We have never seen the divine Sarah li(-r,-Plf rocking under the sway of a more elevated and sou l- stirred emotion as Betty Xansen in this »\<.»<'erfui drama which will be shown at the Carlton Cinema on Monday next. Strongly supporting the top-liner are Blow for Blow." A Biograph two-part exclusive, Kilkie's Double," an excel- lent comedy, as clever as it is funny. For the week-end will be shown Salvation Joan," in which Edna May ("The Belle of New York ") makes her screen debut. Miss May enacts the part of a society girl who conceals her identity and joins the Salvation Army in order to help the poor. She is rescued from a band of Rowdies by Bill, a secret service man posing as a rough character with the ob- < ject of trapping a criminal gang. Miss Edna May is giving her fee of E20,,000 to the Red Cross Fund, and in all proill- ability will be the last film of this re- markable actress, who can be brought to memory more clear as the Salvation lass who sang Follow On in The Belle of New York." j The Elysium for next week has booked at great cost two very fine Fox films for thl head of the bill. For the first half of the week William Fox pre6ents W.jf'am Farnum in "A Gilded Fool." Speakieg of the role of Chauncey Short in this success A Gilded Fool," Wm. Farnum says: I have always cherished an ambition to play a comedy part, and the chance to play Chauncey Short de- j lighted me beyond expression. This fresh country bumpkin in the earlier part of the film, who afterwards becomes a strong, resourceful man of business, gives me just the opportunity I have been looking for, and I thank Mr. Fox heartily for a fine opportunity." The restaurant scene in this production is as exact representation of the great golden room of the celebrated Rector's Restau- rant, New Yirk City, and was staged at a ccet of over £ 1.:WV Other fine pictures are. the expensive LJLO comedy in two acts, Pirates of the Air." All previous efforts wouldn't give you the laughing, j smashing hilarity, the surprises, the gasps, the thrills, the daring dodges, or the unexpected finish provided in thiS/ L.K.O. For the latter half of the week William Fox presents Shida Bara." the woman of a thousand faces in H Kreutyer Sonata," founded on the) theme of Leo r[Y)]stoy"s masterpiece. In this production there is something new and novel. Other pictures include epi- side 8 of the great circus serial, Peg o' the Ring." including Grace Cunard and Francis Ford. A really great attraction will be at the Theatre Royal, Wind-street, during the first three days of next week, when "The French offensive on the Somme," the French official war film taken under the auspices of the French War Office will be shown. The pictures open with the French Poilus taking up their posi- tiorkc, for the attack; streams of surren- dering Germans running towards the at- tackers; havoc wrought by the curtain fire of a 75 battery; some of the offi- cers in the great push; the ruins of Dompierre. Frise and Flancourt; heavy artillery in action, etc. Other fine films will include "The Flush of an Emerald," a drama in four parts; the 23rd chapter of "The Diamond from the S kv," "The Double Cre-s,- The Red Pocket' Book." a drama in two part- and Pathe's Gazette. For the latter portion of fhe week a really fine Metro drama will be screened featuring the great Russian actress Mdme. Olga Petrova in one of her most successful characterisa- tions, The Commuters." a side-splitting four-part comedy; "Thieves of the Desert," drama; "A Wilful Romance," comedy, and Pathe's Gazette. Swansea playgoers are shortly to be honoured by the visit of an entire Lon- don star company in a new French farce, which will see dayliht in the Grand i Theatre before it will be produced in London, a few dayr, after it concludes its visit-to SwanFpa. 'rhk-. "Spring Swig" i" the title of the latest laugh promoter. and its origin hails from the Palais Royal. Paris, the home of all the great Parisian succteses. It ran for 700 nights in Paris, covering a space of nearly two years, which holds the record for. any play of this type in what was before the war, the gay city. The French authors wene so delighted with the way Messrs. Sidney Blow and Douglas Hoare adapted their play Une Nuil Offl Nooes," which was such an enormous success under tie title of Oh I Say in England and America, that they have trusted their latest play to these experienced hands An extremely strong West End casfp will interpret the play. including the well-known Welsh favourite, Miss Hannah Jones (formerly of Swansea), who made such an instantaneous suc- cess in Little Miss Llewellyn at the Vaudeville Theatre that she has ever since been appearing in one London success after the other. Miss Ada Blanche, Miss Irmah Kenham, Mr. Ralph Lynn. Mr. Bruce Winston, the great little E. M. Robson, figure more con- spicuously in this brilliant caste that is going to make its bow to Swansea on November 6th.

"DANNY" REES. II Memories of a Famous Swansea 11 Centre Three-quarter. (| Dockite" (Swansea), has written to? me for particulars of Dan Rees's re- cord with the Welsh and Swansea Pugbyl 1J teams. Altogether Danny represented hie country fi times, namely, against England in 1900; against England and Scotland in 1903; and against England and Scotland in 1905. He suffered under the disadvantage of being a contemporary of Gwyn Nicholle, but there were many who maintained that the Welsh Rugby Union did not deal justly by a oentre- threequarter, whose brilliancy was ack. nowledged wherever Rugby was played. Dan made a speciality of the burst. He used to take the ball with a skill and ac- curacy probably unsurpassed in the his- tory of the All Whites." and it can safely be said that Swansea never pro- duced a centre who was feared more than this slim, dark-haired son of Wales. When Danny went North there was a regular upheaval among local followers of the Rugby game. And no wonder, for he left the All Whites" at a period when they were regarded as the cleverest Rugby combination in the world. Among e the famous backs who were I associated ;1 with him in the Swansea team were Geany Gordon, W. J. Trew, W. J. Bancroft, Fred Jowett, R. M. Owen, Dick Jones, Jim Davies and George Dacies.-co Pendragon."
