STATE THEATRE.
GEORGE ARLISS IN “DR. SYN.” Can you imagine the benign Mr Arliss as a blood-thirsty pirate? Well, in “Dr Syn,” Gainsborough's screen version of Russell Thorndike’s thrilling tales of eighteenth-century smuggling, showing at the State Theatre tonight at 7.45, he has- a brand-new character as a parson by day and a smuggler by night, and does he like it? It is exceedingly difficult, when one interviews this vital, active star of world-wide fame, to realise that he has just celebrated his 69th birthday. “It will be something quite different fqr me,” said Mr Arliss. “It is like an adventure story, the sort of things boys like. It should help me to get out of a certain rut I have been getting into lately. I suppose I shall be just the same as I always am. But at least the story will be different.” With him in “Dr. Syn,” are John Loder, Margaret Lockwood, Graham Moffat and Roy Emerton. Reserves at F. J. Adcock’s, ’phone 1275.
