CRYSTAL PALACE

DOUBLE-FEATURE BILL A startling exposure of abuses in the paroling of dangerous gangsters from United States prisons is told in an exciting story, "Don't Turn 'Em Loose," the chief film of a doublefeature bill at the Crystal Palace. The second attraction is an unusual and amusing story of newspaper life in Chicago, dealing with the adventures and far from smooth romance of two reporters. "Without Orders" on Friday Commencing on Friday, a very good film, "Without Orders," will be shown at the Crystal Palace Theatre. The story of the film is adapted from a book by Peter B. Kyne, an author renowned for hi* stories of adventure. The film, which was produced by RKO-Radio, is a romantic thriller of the air, and has met with outstanding success in other centres of New Zealand. The principal parts are taken by Sally Eilers and Robert Armstrong. Box plans are now open at the D.I.C. MAYFAIR "PEPPER" AND CORONATION FILM Jane Withers's latest picture, "Pepper," scores a distinct hit at the Mayfair Theatre, where it heads a programme made up of very popular subjects. A film which appeals to young and old alike, "Pepper" is a delightful production, faultlessly produced and cleverly interpreted by this talented child actress, who shares the honours with Slim Summerville and Irvin S. Cobb. Among the supporting subjects is a film of the Coronation, which has just arrived by air-mail. STATE "GIRL IN A MILLION" AND CORONATION FILM Films of the Coronation of King George VI carried by air in record time from London are a feature of the programme at the State Theatre this week.

Now in its fourth week, "Girl in a Million" makes outstanding entertainment.
