A MISKIN HERO'S DEATH. I
A MISKIN HERO'S DEATH. Private C. Thickins, of the 15th Welsh C. Company, 10th Batt., B.E.F., J France, has been killed in action. He **as only 22 years of age. He served his King and country in France for six months. Private Thickins was most popular in the district. Much sympathy is felt for his sorrowing parents, Mr. ind Mrs. Thomas Thickins, who reside:, it 4 Glancynon Street, Miskin. Append- sd are extracts from a letter sent by the Captain to his mother:— "My dear Mrs. Thickins,—Your son has died in hospital from wounds. It came as a shock to me when I heard of u it. I saw him placed on a stretcher the night before. He had been hit in the back by a bullet, but he was quite cheerful. He seemed to suffer but little pain. He remarked to his friends who had carried him down to the hospital, 'I think I've got a blight' (a fatal wound). The end must have been peace- ful. He was most popular in the com- pany with officers and men. Ever since he joined us at Rhyl I had come in con- tact with him a great deal and admired him very much. He never gave me the slightest trouble in any way, and I learnt to trust him. I had picked him as company guide because he seemed keen, thorough, reliable and efficient in every way. A good guide is by no means easy to replace, especially such a one as your boy was. I feel for you and your family in losing such a noble boy. You will no doubt find it hard to bear, but as a sodier's mother you must try to bear up bravely. You will be con- soled by the knowledge that your son was one of those who heard his coun- try's call and responded. Further, that he met death like a soldier. If there is anything I can do for you at any time write me and I shall be only too pleased to assist you. I will let you know where your son was buried.—Yours sincerely,— P. Anthony (Captain)."

HACCARIS, MOUNTAIN ASH.
HACCARIS, MOUNTAIN ASH. Next Week: "The Christian." The engagements at Haggar's Cinema are always up-to-date, but nothing pro- duced at this popular house of enter- tainment can exceed in popularity the long promised photo-drama, The Christian." As a novel, Hall Caine's masterpiece created a vast sensation. Unlike many of his novels-although the characters are Manx-the working out of this fascinating story takes place in London. All familiar with the novel will be more than delighted with an op- portunity of renewing acquaintanceship with Glory Quayle and Joha Storm. The former part is. featured by Miss Elizabeth Risdon, and the latter by Mr Derwent Hall Caine (son of the author). The beautiful scenery employed is British, absolutely from the B to the H. No foreign matter is conoerned iii it, and it beats the whole lot of foreign films to a frazzle. It will be shown on Monday next and during the wholo the week, and there will be two after- noon shows on Monday and Thursday at 2.10.
