TWO FEATURES AT THE STATE.
"ISLE OF DESTINY" SHOWING.
Heading the double feature programme now showing at the State Theatre is RKO's all-coloured action-drama "Isle of Destiny," which goes to the South Paciflc for adventure between the | United States Marines and international gun-runners. and for romance between a 'glamour girl flier and two wise-crack-ing, dare-devil Marines. William Gargan and Wallace Ford are featured as the two fighting Marines who have been complaining about the dullness of life at the United States air base on the island of Palo Pango. Then along comes the beautiful blonde dare-devil pilot, played by June Lang, stopping over on her round-the-world flight to see her brother, the commanding officer of the base. Before she is rescued the girl wrecks her plane on a jungle island, becomes the prisoner of an international gunrunner and nearly loses her life from poisoned darts blown from a gun by the jealous native wife of the villain. The associate feature is RKO'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 comedydrama disclosing the "inside" ^ of the theatrical profession. Beginning on Friday next at the State Theatre is Hal , Roach's riotous screen version of Thorne Smith's most hilarious novel, "Turnabout."
