STATE THEATRE.
“IN OLD CHICAGO.” There will be shown tonight at the State Theatre “In Old Chicago,” in which dramatic laurels are most certainly due to Alice Faye, Tyrone Power, Don Ameche, Alice Brady, Brian Donlevy and Andy pevine. Miss Faye, is revealed in >‘ln Old Chicago” as a surprisingly talented actress. Her role as the soubrette in a gaudy, glittery saloon of 1871, is its tempestuous sweetheart of the saloon’s owner. Tyrone Power, that comet among the Hollywood stars, literally takes the role of Dion O’Leary in his teeth and runs away with it. Don Ameche, as Jack O’Leary, the direct antithesis of Dion, gives a sincere performance as the reformer and envisioner of- a clean, orderly, civicminded Chicago. Alice Brady is magnificent, giving the finest performance of her brilliant dramatic career as the hardworking, outspoken Molly O’Leary. Opening with the O’Leary’s in a covered wagon, bound for Chicago, Pa O’Leary typifies the grim brevity of existence in those days. The programme includes No. 4 1938 series of “March of Time.”
