TOWN HALL TOMORROW’S PROGRAMME The chief offering at the Town Hall tomorrow afternoon at 2.15 in the evening at 8 o’clock will be The Road to Zanzibar,” one of the funniest pictures ever brought to the screen. Eob Hope has practically his best role to date and he is well supported by Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Captured by cannibals when they re separated from Dorothy Lamour in the African jungle, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope give the savages some pointers in rhythm on the native drums Its all fine until the cannibals decide the boys might not be white gods. Its: up to Hope to prove they are, and he s thrust into a cage to wrestle a gorilla. The result provides plenty of fun. There is an excellent supporting programme. ______
