BOOK TITLES:

WHAT AUTHORS OWE TO THE BIBLE.

According to a London weekly, one of the main troubles that beset the writer of action is selection of a saitable title. it is"generally recognised that a bad title may spoil a good book. Had Tha kepay for instance, called Fanity Fair Pencil Sketches of English Society." as was his urgical intention, the fate of that iuasterpiece might have been entirely different,

The Bible has proved a welcurae stare house to the novelist in need of a title, and a complete list of the novel pitles which have been taken from the pages of Holy Writ would probably Bil pages. Below are some of the better known of then, with the reference attached

A GENOTAPH IN MUSIC.

mona-

A World's Requiem," the mental work by John Foulds, which is described as a cenotaph in sound, bas been' adopted officially by the British Legion as the British "tribute in music to the memory of the glorious dead. It is described as a work of supreme, devotional value, is of course, non-sectarian, and is easily adaptable for rendering on a large or a small scale. Efforts are being made to ensure its performance in all parts of Great Britain, and representations are being made to organists, choirmasters, and choral societies to the end that in the future every town and township sball reader the work as part of the solemn cbservance of Armistice-day,

CINEMA HOTES.

QUEEN'S THEATRE

To-night and to-morrow Long Tack Sam and bis troups of aerobats give their last bill at the Queen's Theatre at the 9.16 p.m. performance each evening. Constance Talmadge's latent First National attraction "Polly of the Follies which is shown at the Queen's Theatre at 5:15 pm is said to be the brightest and liveliest comedy drama the young star has contributed to the screen.

TEE. WORLD" THEATRE,

The management of the World Thentra announces the biggest boxing show ever seen here in nine full reels of thrills and excitement, It will have four days run commencing to-day. They are the filing of Dempsey. Gibbana (15 rounds), and Firpo #. Wills (12 rounds). When Harry Wills and Luis Firpo fought a sensational - twelve-round bout at Jersey on Sept, 12th, 1914, thousands of people were turned out from Boyle's famous 80 acres stadium. Dempsey v. Gibbons will bring the crowd anywhere they fight and anywhere they are shown. The cinema brings you to the ring-side and shows two of the world's greatest bouts.

It is a strong commentary on modern. civilisation that people require a whole, parkful of contraptions to jerk them up- aids down in order to get any fun out of life.-Ur, Stacy Aumonier,

IS YOUR BABY

HAPPY?

Is your Baby contented and buppy, Does he sleep well and is he full of“. .energy? If not, probably his food is

Give your Baby Glaxo, which contains exactly the same nutriment as healthy breast milk. Then you will have the happiness of watching him grow up into a strong, straight limbed, happy child and a

vigorous en-

ergetic man.
