VIOLA BARKER SCHOOL OE DANCING ANNUAL DISPLAY The annual dancing display to be given by the pupils of the Viola Barker School of Dancing will take place in the Civic Theatre, Marton, to-morrow (Friday) evening). For many weeks now the children have been assiduously practising for this coming event. The number of pupils taking part total about 40. Demonstrations of modern ballroom dancing will be given by Miss Barker and pupil. A lengthy programme of 32 items has been sketched out, and includes operatic, acrobatic, skipping, tap, character and national dancing, as well as two very effective ballet numbers, "In Every Port” and "In the Land bf Windmills.” The box plan is now open at Mogridge and Sons. GRAND DOUBLE PROGRAMME AT CIVIC THEATRE -BORDERLAND” "Hopalong Cassidy” lights a lone battle in Paramount’s "Borderland,” his latest screen adventure, which will be shown at the Civic Theatre tonight. Where his pals Johnny Nelson and "Windy” have always ridden with him in the popular series of action stories by Clarence E. Mulford, the famous Western character created by William Boyd rides the border alone to capture a notorious bandit. “Hiedaway Girl” Four hits songs are included in "Hideaway Girl,” a musical mystery featuring Shirley Ross, Martha Raye and Robert Cummings will also be screened. "Hideaway Girl” is the story of a girl suspected of a clever jewel robbery, who is forced to play the role of a stranger’s wife during a yacht party to avoid being implicated in a series of hilarious goings-on. Love blooms between the two.
