ARCHERY CLUB DANCE Quite a number of people were present at the Archery Club dance and competition which took place at the Hollyburn Pa- vilion on Saturday night. The walls of the pavilion were pret- tily decorated with archery tar- gets and arrows. The members of the )Vest Vancouver Archery Club and the archers from Seat- tle, all wearing Robin Hood caps and can~ing bows and arrows, headed the grand march, which started at 9 p.m. During the dancing, which lasted until mid- night, the archery competitions were run off in the westerly side aisle of the pavilion, which had been especially partitioned off with a wire screen for the occa- sion. Dainty refreshments were served, and one of the features of the evening was a waltz com- petition, which was won by Mr. P. C. Chapman and Mrs. C. Don- ahoe.

LIFE OF LORD NELSON TO BE SHO)VN IN FILM DR. KLINCK TO ADDRESS NORTH SHORE CANADIAN CLUB NEXT THURSDAY It is announced that Dr. Klinck, M.S.A., B.S.A., D.Sc., president of the University of British Columbia, will address the North Shore Canadian Club on Thursday, March 1st.

"QUALITY STREET'O BE PRODUCED IN WEST VAN. Members of the Young Peo- ple's Association of the I.'nited Church have been doing some close and conscientious work in connection with the four. act comedv, "Quality Street," which they will stage at the Hollyhurn theatre on Thursday, March 8th. The players have had the ad- vantage of direction under Mr. A. E. Young, who has been close- ly associated with the Little The- atre in Vancouver. Tickets are now on sale and may be obtained from any of the members of the Y.P.A. We really need a larger anny. As it is, some movie companies must wait weeks to get soldiers for a picture. TomoiTow (two shows) and Monday night the Hollyburn Theatre will show the feature film, "Life of Lord Nelson." This film has been approved by the British admiralty, who actively assisted in its production, and acclaimed by naval authorities here, such as Commander Hose, R.N., and President Sam Harris of the Navy League. It is a British picture which should convince the public finally that Britain can produce pictures as good as the best. Nelson is probably the most vivid and dramatic personality in the pages of British history. Certainly he is the outstanding naval hero, and it is around his life that this epic of the great- est era of the British navy has been constructed. The characterization of Nel- son by Mr. Cedric Hardwicke is one which will live in the minds of all who see the picture. The frail physique, the indomitable spirit and courage, the intense human sympathy, the simple piety of the man, are all traced by Mr. Hardwicke with manel- lous understanding and clear- ness. Linked by this characteriza- tion, a succession of 'thrilling naval incidents in which he play- ed the leading part have been filmed, leading up to the spec- tacuhfr climax at Trafalgar. The battle scenes with the huge wooden vessels locked in titanic struggles are packed with amaz- ingly vivid episodes of the fight- ing. Over all the triumph hangs the shadow of the death of the victor and the way in which the emotions of poignant grief and tremendous joy have been shown is an outstanding illustration of intelligent production. The spirit of England in those anxious times when only her wooden walls stood between her and disaster, and the spirit of the men who fought in them come to life on the screen. The settings also have been carefully chosen. In the filming of the picture three of the old vessels, the "Victory," the "Im- placable" and the "Foudroyant" were used by permission of the British admiralty. Nor has the domestic and ro- mantic side of Nelson been ne- glected. His unhappy married life, and his meeting and love for the brilliant Lady Hamilton, softly illuminate the background of his strenuous life. Alto- gether it is a picture which marks a new era in British film production. The "New Era" in- cidentally is the name of the cor- poration which has made the production. B. I.
