Robert Preston, Lynne Overman, Brian Donlevy and a cast of thousands. A mighty entertainment sweeps across the screen . . . It is our privilege to present Paramount':: most pretentious and impressive production since the famous ''Ten Commandments." Roaring adventure and flaming romance. They built a dramatic new empire in the West! They tamed blazing deserls and roaring rivers; saddled mountain peaks with shining steel; drove the railroad to the Pacif-c. A nation on the march to the setting sun, heroes and vagabonds, saints and scoundrels, driving westward for gold, for greed, for land, for sheer love of adventure. To-night is the final screening of "The Little Princess," with Shirley Temple in the title role.

GRAND

To-night "Hard to Get" and "Big Town Czar." Two screenings tomorrow of "Two Bright Boys" Jackie Cooper, Freddie Bartholomew, Melville Cooper, Alan Dinehart, Dorothy Peterson. Hero is exciting action against a dramatic colourful background of gushing oil-wells, blasted derricks, and the fighting fury of'desperate men grappling lor black gold. "Winner Take All" Tony Martin, Gloria Stuart, Henry Armetta, Slim Summervilie, Kane Richmond. Everybody likes a good boxing story, and everybody likes a good comedy, so when a picture comes along that combines the two, the result is a riot of excitement.,
