ST. JAMES’ THEATRE “WIFE v. SECRETARY’ Clark Gable as the husband, Myrna Loy as his wife, and Jean Harlow as the lovely secretary who innocently finds herself in the reluctant role of “the other woman,” provides one of the greatest screen “triangles” in the history of romantic films. It has been achieved by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in | the latest and most popular Faith Baldwin story of modern romance “Wife Versus Secretary,” which opens to-morrow (Wednesday) at the St. James Theatre, Hunterville. In this new and up-to-date theme, Clark Gable justifies himself as one of three international box-office champions, recently acclaimed by a nation-wide poll of exhibitors. He further proves his ability to make firmer his footing among the stars by stepping from such rugged and vigorous roles as Fletcher Christian in “Mutiny on the Bounty,” and Captain Gaskell in “China Seas,” with his newest performance as the modern business executive in “Wife Versus Secretary." sixth standard or a hlghc-r standard. The Public Trustee was appointed the executor of the will and the awarding of the scholarships is under the control of a committee comprised of the headmasters of the schools mentioned with the district manager of the Public Trust Office at Marton as chairman of such committee. Arrangements have been made again this year for the examination to be held in conjunction with that for proficiency. By the co-operation of the Wanganui Education Board Inspectors a considerable saving in examination expenses is effected and, despite the reduced income now available, it is possible to offer three scholarships this year. Full particulars as to the conditions of the scholarships and entry forms may be obtained from the headmasters of the schools concerned. GOLF. MARTON WINS FROM BELMONT.
