STATE THEATRE.
“NOTHING SACRED.” Not since the days when Tom Santschi and William Farnum clashed in a superhuman battle for “The Spoilers,” has the screen witnessed a struggle as great as the one between Carole Lombard and Fredric March in the technicolour production, “Nothing Sacred,” which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. Meeting in a hand-to-hand encounter in the first knockdown fight between a man and a women ever filmed, Miss Lombard and March kicked, punched, shoved and wrestled each other for an entire day, at Selznick International Studio. For three hours in the morning they rehearsed. In other scenes, Miss Lombard and March are sitting at ringside during a wrestling match. Another series of shots finds the stars swimming around in twelve feet of water, fully clothed. An excellent supporting programme includes two novelty items,, “This Badminton Racket” and “Ornamental Swimming.” Among other pictures will be showing a coloured cartoon, and Pathe Pictorial.
