MINERS’ THEATRE

TO-NIGHT’S PROGRAMME

A double-star programme will be

shown to-day. 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 fight 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.

The special brand of humour that Claudette Colbert lias made her own sparkles throughout Paramount’s “I Met Him in Paris,” brilliant comedyromance which will be shown on Monday and Tuesday. With two leading men, Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young, lighting to win Miss Colbert’s affections, "I Met Him in Paris” offers a double guarantee of sparkling situations and bright dialogue to the legion of Colbert fans who thrilled to her earlier comedy hits, “It Happened One Night” and “The Gilded Lily.”
