STATE THEATRE
“THE MARK OF ZORRO.” “The Marl: of Zorro” will be shown again tonight, Monday and Tuesday. For what is undoubtedly one of the most famous and colourful of all screen roles—the characterisation that brought Douglas Fairbanks undying fame —is also the perfect role for Tyrone Power and it marks what is unquestionably the greatest triumph of his career. And Linda Darnell, who is featured opposite him, has never looked lovelier or appeared to greater advantage. The story is the famous and exciting tale of the night-riding masked avenger who nourished in the most exciting days of Old California, leaving behind the jagged sword mark that struck terror to every heart but one, that of the beautiful and gentle senorita who gave him her love. Boasting the most spectacular action and sword play the scre.cn has seen in many a moon, Power’s role is crammed with hard-riding, furious lighting, ardent romance and brought to a climax by an unforgettably realistic, duel with Basil Rathbone, who, with Linda Darnell, heads the featured cast. Rathbone has a ready-made role as a deep-dyed villian. Gale Scndergaard scores as the vain, flirtatious wife of the wicked alcalde, and others who shine in the superb cast, include Eugene Pallette as Fray Felipe, J. Edward Bromberg as the alcalde, Montagu Love, Janet Beecher. Robert Lowery and Chris-Pin Maartin. There will be no pictures on Good Friday.
