The Pace That Kills is a 1935 American exploitation film directed by William O'Connor. The film, starring Lois January, told the story of a woman called Jane Bradford, who gets involved with a drug dealer and becomes addicted to cocaine.

Sheila Bromley, sometimes billed as Sheila LeGay or Sheila Manners (31 October 1911 -- 23 July 2003) was an American television and film actress. She is best known for her roles in B-movies, mostly westerns of the era.
Born in San Francisco, California, she began her career in the 1930s on contract with Monogram Pictures, she was first billed as Sheila LeGay starring in 1930 westerns alongside Tom Tyler. She frequently co-starred with Ken Maynard, Hoot Gibson, Johnny Mack Brown, Bill Cody, and Dick Foran. She first starred alongside Bill Cody in the 1932 western Land of Wanted Men. She also starred opposite John Wayne in the 1935 films Westward Ho & Lawless Range and the 1937 film Idol of the Crowds. In 1944 Bromley appeared in the touring production of Good Night Ladies.
During World War II she worked often for the USO, continuing that service until the war ended in 1945. There she met her husband Jairus Bellamy. She is credited with seventy-five films in her career, of which seventeen were westerns, for which she is best known.
Bromley retired from films and lived in the Greater Los Angeles Area until her death in 2003.
Noel Madison (1897--1975) was an American character actor in the 1930s and '40s and appeared in 75 films, often as a gangster.
Lois January (October 5, 1913 -- August 7, 2006) was an American actress who performed small roles in several B-movies during the 1930s.
Born in McAllen, Texas as Laura Lois January, her first credited role was in 1933, in the film UM-PA. Her most famous role, however, although she never achieved name recognition, is probably as the Emerald City manicurist in The Wizard of Oz who sings to Dorothy that "we can make a dimpled smile out of a frown" and, later in the same film, as the woman holding a cat which causes Toto to jump out of the hot air balloon just before it departs leaving Dorothy apparently stranded.
January had many roles during her Hollywood career. During the 1930s she played in numerous westerns as the heroine, usually opposite Johnny Mack Brown, Bob Steele, Tim McCoy and Bob Baker, among others. In 1935 she starred opposite Reb Russell in Arizona Badman, and in 1936 she starred with Brown in Rogue of the Range, and alongside Tim McCoy in Border Cabellero. While on contract with Universal Pictures she continued to play heroine roles in westerns, and in 1937 she starred opposite Bob Baker in Courage of the West.
Her career slowed in the way of starring roles by the mid-1940s, but she continued to act. In 1942 she was the "poster girl" for Chesterfield cigarettes. From 1960 through 1987 she played numerous small roles on television, to include roles on My Three Sons and Marcus Welby, M.D.. Her last acting role was in 1987, on the television movie Double Agent. During the 1980s she attended several western film festivals.
