"ISLE OF DESTINY" TO-DAY. Heading the excellent double feature programme. which will hegin at tlie State Theatre. New Plymouth, is RKO's allcolour action-drama "Isle of Destiny," which goes to the South Pacific for adventure between the United States Marines and international gun-runners, and for romance between a glamour girl fliei I and two wise-cracking, dare-dcvil Marlincs. William Gargan and Wallacc Ford | are featured as the two fighting Marines j who have been complaining about the ' dullneas of life at the United States air
base on the island of Palo Pango. Then along comes the beautiful blonde daredevil pilot played by June Lang, stopping over on her round-the-world flight to see her brother, the commanding oflficer of the base. Before she is rescued the girl wrecks her plane on a jungle island, becomes the prisoner of an international gun-runner and nearly loses her life from poisoned darts blown from a gun by the jealous native wife of the villain. The associate feature is RKU s riotous comedy "Curtain Call," featuring Barbara Read, Alan Mowbray and Helen Vinson. How a girl-author's embryonic career is shattered by the amazing Broadway success of her amateurish play, is the paradoxical theme of the sparkling comedy-drama disclosing the "inside of the theatrical profession.
