STATE THEATRE
“PLAYMATES.” “Playmates” and “Obliging Young Lady,” will be finally shown tonight. “THE LITTLE FOXES.” “The Little Foxes,” which will be shown tomorrow night, is splendidly produced, and magnificently acted. Bette Davis plays the leading part in a film that is an unfinished symphony in prose and picture, a film that tells enough to provoke, but not enough to let the audience forget it for days to come. No one is likely to forget the terrible scene where her husband, stricken with.a heart attack, calls for relief while his wife sits, mute as stone, watching a falling, fainting shadow feel its way up the stairway wall; or the final moment when her daughter walks out into the night with the man she loves. “The Little Foxes” is apt to sound penny noveletteish. It is nothing of the sort. It is sound, beauti-fully-constructed drama with Bette Davis and Herbert Marshall playing the roles of their careers.
