STATE THEATRE

FINALLY TONIGHT. The lense and thrilling story of Jane and John Mason, an average, mo-dern-day couple, deeply in love but hounded by opposing economic conditions, is unfolded in the new film drama, "Made For Each Other,” a David O. Selznick production which will be shown finally at the State Theatre tonight. TOMORROW’S ATTRACTIONS. Sandy Powell, the famous Yorkshire comedian, is seen in his biggest and best screen role in the hilarious story of the Turf, “Eve Got a Horse," which heads the new bill at the State Theatre tomorrow evening. Sandy is a bookmaker who becomes a racehorse owner when he accepts a horse as “stake money,” and the lucky punter loses, leaving him with the horse on his hands. So he decides to race the animal. One of the really amusing incidents from the film is a courtroom scene when Sandy is accused of stealing the horse. Fighting the case himself. he stalks into court in wig and gown, and makes his speech to Judge and jury as though it were an everyday occurrence. There is a strong plot in the screen story, and comedy is obtained from the situations. A heartwarmingly human story, rich in the romance and colour of the most exciting sport in the world, Speed to Burn,” starring Michael Whalen, Lynn Bari, and the loveable Gambini family is the associate film. There is a man, a girl and a boy and a family the world is going to love, the Gambinis. Into their lives comes the career of War Paint, a race horse which by the machinations of a group of racketeers, is retired from the track. Michael Whalen, Lynn Bari and Marvin Stephens brings about the beautiful animal’s comeback with Henry Annetta and his Gambini Family lending their enthusiastic assistance. The thrill a big day at the races, the roar of the crowd, the driving finish down the stretch and the human touches supplied by the Gambinis plus the boundless love of a man and his girl make “Speed to Burn ’ all that is grand in romance and racing.
