STATE THEATRE
“CHEERS FOR MISS BISHOP.” “Cheers for Miss Bishop,” which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre is one of the best- pictures ever brought to the screen. It is natural that Martha Scott should be singled out for- special praise; her acting lends the whole film an air of distinction, and she relies, for the transition from nervous eager youth to serene old age, not on tricks 'of make-up only, but on really subtle changes of movement and of character. Edmund Gwenn gives solid, kindly help in an important supporting part, and others in the cast fit neatly into the roles assigned to them. But William Gargan as Miss Bishop’s patient, long-suffering and always faithful admirer is excellent. The film tells how young Miss Bishop, her father dead, studies and takes her training to be a teacher. At first it seems that she will have to move far away from her home town, but the head of the college has had his eye on this promising student, and she is taken on as lecturer in English. Then follows a delightful story. The supporting programme includes a particularly good patriotic picture entitled “From the Four Corners,” featuring Private Ronald Gilbert (New Zealand), Leslie Howard and. a Canadian and Australian soldier, as well as a fine picture of the campaign in Syria..
