“THE HURRICANE.” Samuel Goldwyn's spectacular production “The Hurricane,” will screen again tonight at 8 and finally tomorrow night at 7.45 The great cast includes Dorothy Lamour, Jon Hall, Mary Astor, C. Aubrey Smith, Raymond Massey and Thomas Mitchell. LATE SESSION TOMORROW 10 P.M. “Maryland,” filmed in iechnicolour, has been shown to record crowds in other centres and in Masterton it commences with u special gala late session tomorrow night at the State Theatre at 10 o'clock. The background is beautiful and authentic because much of “Maryland” .was filmed on location just outside of Baltimore, where the annual world-famed Maryland Hunt Cup Race is held. The film captures all the impressive tradition and colour of a proud state and is thrillingly climaxed by the world’s most spectacular steeplechase. Walter Brennan heads the impressive cast. His broad role affords ample scope for his diversified talents. As the horse trainer he offers one of his finest screen character portrayals. Fay Bainter gives her best performance to date and lovely Brenda Joyce never has been better. The latter’s romantic interest in “Maryland” is handsome John Payne, one of the screen’s most promising young actors. They are excellent as two spirited young people in love, torn by a fierce family pride. Charlie Ruggles is back again, humorous and capable as ever. Hattie McDaniel and Marjorie Weaver capably round off the featured cast.
