STATE THEATRE
“STAR DUST.” Boasting what has been, called the most original entertainment idea in years, the 20th Century-Fox film “Star Dust” stars lovely Linda Darnell at the State Theatre tonight, in a thrilling story that well might be the story of her own exciting rise to fame. Linda is cast as a plucky small-town girl in Hollywood scrapping for her place in the sun. In the great adventure that is the mecca of young screen hopefuls, she meets handsome John Payne, another young hopeful. Together they share heart break and happiness—and find out about love. With the odds a thousand to one against them, they won’t take no for an answer. They enlist the help of talent scout Ronald Young and dramatic coach Charlotte Greenwood. And when things look darkest they stage a stunt that stands Hollywood on its ear. Gay and charming, it has moments of strong drama and suspense. Those who have seen the picture agree that Linda Darnell outdoes herself, while 20th Century-Fox Production Chief Darryl F. Zanuck awarded John Payne a long term contract as a result of his work in the film. Others featured in the star-studded cast are William Gargan, Mary Beth Hughes, Mary Healy and Donald Meek.
