League To Be Curtailed

ANNUAL CAMPING

PERIOD

League Matches for the next few weeks are likely to be conkiderally curtailed...

This is owing to the annual camp- ing period of the Army taking place. The Royal Welsh Fusiliers who are already at camp will be un- Lable to play until the beginning of January, while the Royal Ulster Rines will be" going to camp soon. It is hoped however that other teams will take this opportunity of playing back fixtures.

The Garrison Sgts, Mess are still at the head of the league table while the R.A. (L.) move from fifth to second place.

Now "The Great Ziegfeld."" a picture suggested by the career of the noted glorifier of the American girl, is being brought to the screen to-day at the King's and Alham- bra Theatres, with Willam Powell In the title role; Myrna Loy as his wife. Bille Burke; and Luise Rainer as the starry-eyed, alluring Anna Held.

Many of the personlities that Ziegfeld made famous joined this cast of stars, carrying on the traditions of the producer whose showmanship has injected itself into every scene. Fanny Brice, Ray (Rubber-Legs) Bolger. Harriet Boctor, and others who triumphed in the Ziegfeld shows repeat their Inspired performances IOT the motion picture that glorifies the man who Brought them fame.
