MINERS’ THEATRE

TO-NIGHT’S PROGRAMME

To-night and to-morrow radio’s

greatest singing cowboy, Smith Ballew, becomes Harold Bell Wright's most thrilling hero in “Western

Gold.” Blazing a trial for gold-

laden stage-coaches thundering

through treacherous mountain passes that bristle with the guns of raiding desperadoes —chanting unforgettable cowboy ballads to the tune of whin-

ing bullets —bringing you action-

teeming entertainment, with ail the

romance and colour, the sweep and grandeur of the tumultuous times that inspired a great author to writs this great story.

A double-star programme will be shown on Saturday. The courageous story of a lone battle to break up the wholesale parole ring provides a lightning-paced melodrama as new and as timely as your newspaper headlines of to-morrow. “Freedom for Sale,” is the thrill-packed tale of a police lieutenant who wages a personal, single-handed war against those who browbeat legitimate business men into paying for so-called “protection.” His tight carries him into the thick of a parole scandal whereby habitual offenders are permitted their freedom only to repeat their same crimes against society. The second picture will be “History Is Made at Night,” and from the first pop of a champagne cork to the last “I love you,” it’s the grandest romantic fun-feast the screen has given you in ages and features Charles Boyer, Jean Arthur and Leo Carrillo.
