MINERS’ THEATRE

TO-NIGHT’S PROGRAMME

Marla Shelton, who is Jean Harlow’s rival for the affections of Robert Taylor in "Man in Possession,” which will be shown to-night and to-morrow night, is one of those rare persons endowed with a combination of beauty and brains. At the age of twelve she won a Class A radio operator’s license. Two years later she won a Houston, Texas, beauty contest. Previous to entering film work Miss Shelton became executive director of a alrge Hollywood cosmetic company. It was here that she was “discovered” by M-G-M’s casting director, who called her “the greatest vamp find since Theda Bara.” Some of the Pacific Coast’s fastest troting horses performed for a racetrack sequence in “Off to the Races,” fourth in the Twentieth Century-Fox series featuring the Jones Family, to be screened at the Miners’ Theatre on Saturday. r rhe second feature, “The Dominant Sex,” is a delightfully daring, yet human, story everybody will understand and revel in, because it has happened to us all. Modern marriage, with all its problems, is brought to the screen in a delight - fully daring adaptation of Michael Egan’s play that held London captivated for over two years.
