STATE THEATRE
“ANGEL.” A serious problem arises when a woman’s husband is too busy and preoccupied to spend any time with her, particularly when she meets and is attracted by another sympathetic man. This situation is the theme of Marlene Dietrich’s new Paramount picture, “Angel,” which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. The production is handsome and lavish, the acting of Miss Dietrich, Herbert Marshall and Melvyn Douglas all that anyone could ask, and the work of the supporting cast is splendid. Herbert Marshall plays the part of an absorbed diplomat, who gives all his time and attention to political problems to the exclusion of his wife, Marlene Dietrich, who resents his lack of attention to her. She finally leaves her home to make a quiet trip to Paris in search of some adventure to relieve the drabness of her usual life. In Paris she meets Melvyn Douglas; the two fall in love.' The work of a fine -cast, including Ernest Cossart, Edward Everett Horton, Laura Hope Crews, Herbert Mundin and Ivan Lebedeff, puts the finishing touch on a fine and satisfying piece of entertainment.
