STATE THEATRE
“VALLEY OF THE SUN” “Valley of the Sun” and “Powder Town” will be finally shown tonight. “ONE MILLION, 8.C.” Whisked into a grim, far past, guided by Victor Mature, Carole Landis, and Lon Chaney, Junr., the audience at the State Theatre tomorrow night should thoroughly enjoy itself in “One Million, 8.C.,” which is astounding in conception and production. Huge scaly monsters, spiny-backed or armourplated, weighing more than an outsize lank, gigantic lizards, armadillos as big as “jeeps,” in fact, an infinite variety of fearsome beasts, most realistic in their death combats, inhabit a world of inhospitable rock or steamy swamps. Two small tribes, one meat eating, with a callous, brutal outlook, but 1 all warriors, and the other, shellfish and fish eaters, kindly, brainy folk, mingle their destinies in a convincinly told story of evolution. Battles are so frequent that fear is a waste of time. The realism is at times intense. Perhaps the greatest thrill is an eruption and earthquake. The associate feature, “There Goes My Heart,” provides plenty of comedy.
