HACCAR'S, ABERDARE.
HACCAR'S, ABERDARE. NEXT WEEK: "JOHN GLAYDE'S HONOUR." The stream of woiicferful pictures that Mr. Haggar has secured for his patrons is right bang up-to-date—in fact, up-to- moment is a better expression. Our old friend, Councillor Haggar, with a life- time of experience, goes for the best only, and as a judge of the best he is unbeat- able. In the army of picture-theatre proprietors he has well earned his dis- tinction—General Haggar. His great programme for this week-end is worthy of a big London house, for it includes the great Vitagraph attraction, "Wheels of Justice." The production is one of enor- mous interest, and is featured by some of the leading Cinematograph artistes of the world. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week Councillor Haggar presents that picturisation of Alfred Lutro's masterpiece, John Glavde's Honour," as played by Sir George Alexander for hundreds of nights at the St. James' Theatre, Lon- don. The master hand of Mr. Lutro delineates John Glayde as a man of honour, and whose word is his bond and whose regard is a thing to seek and cherish. Power is the goal before his eyes, but reached only by the honourable paths. His home life is serene, and his wife beautiful. His dreams of power do not appeal to her, and she nourishes a secret resentment, thinking herself neglected. Soon occurs "the little rift within the lute" brought about by Muriel Glayde's visit to Paris. There she meets Lady Lerode, and is introduced to Trevor Lerode, her son. They fall in love with each other, and Lady Lerode deems it advisable to cable for John Glayde. One of the mightiest scenes ever depicted is the meeting of this man of honour, his wife and Trevor Lerode. The spectator is swayed with all the human passions, and for intensity noth- ing like it has ever been screened before. Mr. Haggar is to be congratulated on having secured the exclusive rights of production, for his patrons will un- doubtedly be highly delighted. In ad- dition to the star attractions the pro- gramme is replete with comic and comedy films of first-class grade. Special chil- dren's performance on Saturday after- noon.

An influential gathering of representatives of local authorities and various interests was held on Wednesday evening at the Workmen's Hall, Penrhiwceiber, under the presidency of Councillor G. H. Hall, Chairman of the Mountain Ash Council, in order to hear an exposition of the work being organised by the National War Savings Committee. Mr. A. H. Marshall, M.P., and Mr. Edward Black (organiser for South Wales), attended and explained at length the objects of the movement for the promotion of War Savings. Amongf those present were Councillors Thomas Jones, J.P., N. Bowles, C. Maddocks, A. Pincombe (Clerk Mountain Ash Council), A. Mor- gan (Director of Education) and F. Stock. The chairman at the outset ex- plained that the conference was called at the invitation of Mr. Marshall, who had been successful in establishing a number of War Saving Committees. The object of the movement was the successful prosecution of the war to a victorious conclusion. They had al- ready heard it emphasised that men, money, and munitions were required for this purpose. So far as the Penrhiw- ceiber Ward of that area was concerned they had made a handsome contribu- tion in men, no fewer than 902 men hav- ing been called to the colours in that Ward alone. (Hear, hear.) That was a record of which they need not be ashamed, especially was that so when they remembered that quite 90 per cent. of the young men in that area were ex- empt owing to their being employed in the collieries. It was necessary, how- ever, to get the silver bullets for the prosecution of the war, and he trusted that the effort that was being made to establish a local committee for war sav- ing would have a good send-off as the result of that conference. (Applause.) —Mr. Marshall, in the course of a stirring appeal for co-operation in the work of the War Savings Committee, exhaustively reviewed the financial needs of the present great allied strug- gle in which this country was playing by no means the smallest part. Not- withstanding the great contribution which had already been made to the common cause, without which it would have been impossible for our allies on the Continent to have met the enemy on equal terms, the co-operation of the civilian population was absolutely es- sential for the successful carrying on of the struggle to its conclusion. For this purpose it was necessary to organ- ise a movement throughout the whole country for War Saving, to cut down the consumption of unnecessary things and to encourage the voluntary saving of the surplus, and to save in order to lend to the Government. For this pur- pose associations were being formed on the co-operative basis by which the best results would accrue to those who invested small savings. Mr. Black also addressed the conference, and on the motion of Mr. Thomas Jones, J.P., a resolution in the following term's was unanimously passed: "That this meet- ing having heard the statements made on behalf of the Natonal War Savings Committee, approves the proposal that the areas represented at this meeting shall take part in the national move- ment for war savings, and those present pledge themselves to establish a repre- sentative local committee and to do all in their power to secure the formation of a War Savings Association in their respective areas."
