TOWN HALL PICTURES

SHOWING NEXT SATURDAY MY LIFE WITH CAROLINE Long-distance marriage in the modern manner, and its results, form the gay theme of My Life with Caroline, Ronald Column’s new starring vehicle which comes to the Town Hall on Saturday. Column plays the part of a wealthy, good-humoured and busy publisher with a lovely but empty-headed wife. The latter spends most of her time at various society recorts, where she encounters romantic playboys who fall in love with her and convince her that she is being shamefully neglected by her money-grubbing spouse. Every so often she decides she must divorce her husband and marry the admirer of the moment —and this is where Column comes in. By skilful manoeuvring he breaks up the incipient affair and brings his beautiful partner back to her senses. Anna Lee, star of many recent British films, is seen as the vacillating heroine of the RKO Radio offering, and Charles Winninger, Reginald Gardiner and Gilbert Roland head the supporting cast.

SHOWING NEXT WEDNESDAY

PRIVATE AFFAIRS Universal 's Private Affialrs, described as a modern comedy ivith a background of Boston's tradition-filled Back Bay, brings Nancy Kelly, Robert Cummings, Hugh Herbert and Roland Young to the screen of the Town Hall on Wednesday next.' Young appears as the son of an old Boston family who for twenty years has chosen to remain a “black sheep' rather than submit to the dictation of his staid family. And now Nancy Kelly, his daughter, finds herself in the same quandary, ordered by her crotchety grandfather to marry a man she doesn’t love.

Robert Cunnings plays the role of the young man whom Nancy does love. Hugh Herbert appears in a typically hilarious role that represents a variety of characters from a breezy cab driver to a Scotch nobleman. The irascible father of Young and the grandfather of Nancy is played by Montagu Love.
