STATE THEATRE

‘•NEWS IS MADE AT NIGHT.” A hard-fighting metropolitan editor and a dazzling girl reporter swing into action and bring to bay a modern Jekyll and- Hyde in the breath-taking-mystery, “News Is Made At Night,” a 20th Century-Fox release, which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. Murder and revenge keep no hours as Preston Foster, a stop-at-nothing editor, and Lynn Bari, the daring reporter, hurl themselves at the two-fold task of freeing a man innocently sentenced to death, and discovering fne master mind that has victimised a nation. It’s headline news, sensational and incredible, as the editor and his girl reporter tear the mask of respectability from a master swindler supposedly dead for 18 years and reveal a trail of murder and blackmail. In addition to the important roles played by Preston Foster and Lynn Bari, the brilliant cast also includes as featured players, Russell Gleason as the publisher's son who takes himself too seriously; the lovable George Barbier as a gruff and blunt old newspaperman; Eddie Collins as a priceless man servant named Billiard, and Minor Watson as a society leader and business magnate. There is an abundance of rapidfire action, edgc-of-the-chair suspense and lively romance in this exciting film The original screen play was written by John Larkin, who collaborated on the story of the 20th Century-Fox musical hit, "Rose of Washington Square.” There will also be shown Tom Walls in the successful Ben Travers comedy hit, “Old Iron.” "FOUR FEATHERS.” An advertisement on page 1 announces the opening date of the eagerly awaited epoch-making production, "Four Feathers.”
