SALTCOATS FREE CHURCH

The annual conversazione was held on Wednesday - Dr. Scott, pastor, presiding.

The roll showed that though, owing to death, &c., 28 had been struck off, 42 had been added, thus giving a net increase of 14.

The total funds raised were £531, showing an increase of £18 over that of last year.

Rev. George Anderson gave an illustrated lecture on “Martyrs of the Reformation,” and the choir under the leadership of Mr. Gillon, sang several pieces.

FOOTBALL
SALTCOATS VICTORIA v. MAUCHLINE
At Saltcoats


Play was prettily evenly divided for twenty-five minutes, when Anderson scored for the Victoria. Duffin a few minutes after added a second. Close on half-time, from a long shot, Mauchline scored.

On resuming Mauchline added a point and equalised, following with a third. The Victoria scored a goal equalising.

The game was well contested and ended – Victoria, 3; Mauchline, 3.

4th APRIL 1975

AT THE CINEMAS

REGAL

Monday 7th April ALL WEEK

Alan Arkin and James Caan in Freebie and the Bean ( X ) Showing at 8.05 pm

" These violent cops mean fantastic laughs all the way " ( Daily Express )

Also Tayside ( A ) 7.30 pm

Saturday matinee at 1.40 pm Bugs Bunny ( U ) and One Hour to Doom ( U )

"Freebie and the Bean ", showing all week, presents Freebie Waters ( James Caan ) as a tough but opportunist plain clothes cop who is always ready to hold out his hand for anything that is going free, hence the nickname. His partner Benito ( The Bean ) Vasquez ( Alan Arkin ) is every bit as tough as Freebie though not quite so light-fingered. Their dreams of promotion when they find incriminating evidence of a numbers racket in the city, are doomed to failure when gangland involves them in breakneck chases, shoot-outs, misunderstandings, hostages, double crosses, characters in drag - you name it, it's somewhere in this crazy story.


LA SCALA

Sunday 6th April ALL WEEK

Barbara Markham, Patrick Barr in House of Whipcord ( X ) Showing at 8.25 pm

Also Hotel of Free Love ( X ) showing at 7.00 pm

Anne-Marie de Verney works as a model. Rather naive, she is upset about her involvement in a court case. When she is consoled by a stranger, Mark Dessert, she strikes up a friendship with him. However when she accepts an invitation to meet his parents she is taken aback by the sinister, uniformed woman who greets her. Anne-Marie soon realises that the building is a prison and that its unbalanced governess, Mrs Wakehurst enjoys imposing her own harsh penalties on petty criminals whom her son acts courier for and that the prison itself is a nightmarish den of torture, depravity and murder. " House of Whipcord " is showing all week.

Kaymay,

I take it you are referring to the following link. A tragic story.
