TOWN HALL TALKIES. "The Miracle Man,” which opens at the Town Hall on Friday and Saturday next, is Paramount’s powerful picturisation of George M. Cohan’s celebrated drama of flesh-aiid.-blood men and women, sinning, struggling, loving, rising from the underworld into the light. It is a picture of crooked lives made straight, of sordid lives made bright, hv the wholesome sway of the country and an old man’s trust in men. No propaganda, no creed, no “ism.” A vivid story of human hearts, told on the screen in scenes of marvellous variety. Driving ahead with action that grips and holds. Softened with humour so true that it laughs with all mankind, so keen that it starts the tears. A tale that goes straight to the heart of the crowd. The big cast includes Sylvia Sidney, Chester Morris, “Bobbie Coogau,” Lloyd Hughes, Hobart Bosworth and Boris' Karloff. With "Old Songs for New’” a coloured Novelty, “Screen Souvenirs,” “I hate to get up in the Morning” (screen song), and British News.

Clive Brook and Claudette Colbert are co-starred in “The Man from Yesterday,” next Wednesday’s attraction —a story recalling Lord Tennyson’s poem, “Enoch Arden.”
