MEMS FROM JHE MOUNT. Some smart men about town were dis- cussing whether this Government shouldn't be called the Collision Govern- ment. London papers please copy. A sad tragedy occurred at the Pavilion. The kid was killed, so that there's no kid —now. What a lot of music there has been up there lately! Why did Harry tarry: His gold watch and chain played him false, they say, and then he played a slow melody as the car whirled out of sight. Ginger Hale goes well with Burdock, so they say. Others have come to the conclusion that he was trying to get a gall on. It is astonishing what those reticules that the ladies carry will hold. A pretty scene in Oxford Street on Monday surprised not a few. A lady dropped that little bag of charms, when a young gallant in khaki recovered it, and wiped the mud off it. She immediately opened it and offered him a cigarette from a pretty silver case. Tom, the champion cribbiste, nap. whisht and donniste, took the whole of his connections to Aberdare. The youth- ful members of the congregation paddled in the Park lake. They were so numerous that the lake rose some four feet. But the tea 0 T, the cups were un- accountable, and the family man re- turned to his domicile in the Alount, sadder and wiser. Have you heard of Tom the Boy's chick? Without joking it is a pheno- menon. It came out of a shell in the usual way, and like a lot of other musical prodigies started to crow when it was six weeks and three days old. Fifty-five people in Pryee Street heard it. The bird is not for sale nor the crow. The man in khaki who escaped through a grating in Newtown was cap- tured last Sunday. The chocolat-e girl has applied to the police for her reward. They refuse to pay because she didn't hold him.

Don't forget the last instalment of the beautiful serial, "The Broken Coin," will also be shown. The inter- esting climax is Who found the other t half!

Aberdare Cinema.
Aberdare Cinema. Next Week: Still Waters Run Deep" and "The Milestones of Life." A great triumph has been scored this week by Clarke's the Man. His tremendous production of the pictur- ization of Sir Rider Haggard's great- novel, She," has caught on. It was never in doubt, for the marvel- lous novel of the great writer has such a fascinating hold on the British public that even the great critics have been silenced. That land of mystery and ancient sculptures pro- vides the background for the most occult picture of modern times. Clarke's the Man has aimed, and with his usual directions has hit the bull's eye. There are three more days ol She, when Mr. Louis Clarke is compelled to withdraw it. The pub- lic of Aberdare should not miss this opportunity of educating themselves further in Sir Rider Haggard's won- derful books. On Monday. Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week the charming wife of Sir H. Beerholm Tree is featuring the principal part in that magnificent drama, Still waters run deep." Lady Tree has for years had the com- mand of British audiences, but she is more charming than ever in this great ploto-drama. Her delicate beauty is most attractive, but more than all her pourtrayal of the chief character is superb. She, with other stage beauties, has raised the stage art to a high pinnacle. All who desire to see a magnificent prqduction should not miss this. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week Clarke's the Man is screening The Milestones of Life," or a tale of the seasons. The usual Saturday matinee for children will be continued.
