TOWN HALL THEATRE

CURRENT PROGRAMMES

HERS TO HOLD

SATURDAY NEXT

Stirring romance anil appropriate, believable drama, have been deftly blended and brought to the screen in Universal’s very special production, “Hers to Hold” which will commence its season at the Town Hall Theatre v\ith u matinee at 2.15 p.m. on Saturday. The object of the matinee is to counteract the smallness of the theatre by affording children an opportunity of having a session of their own. To emphasise the necessity for children attending the matinee there will be no reduced prices at tiro evening session.

Hors lo Hold’’ is by far the most serious picture in which Miss Durbin has been presented. Though the plot has its lighter moments, musical interludes and other diverting highlights, the bright romantic thread is never obscured. There is a throbbing love theme which grips and holds attention from beginning to end. Deanna portrays the debutante who adores an Army aviator. The aviator returns her love but secretly realises the futility of the attachment. Supporting Deanna Durbin and Joseph Gotten in the featured roles arc Charles Winninger, Gus Schilling and Evelyn Ankers. Deanna sings four songs that will appeal to every taste.
