STATE THEATRE
* “BELLE STARR.” America’s early fighting history was colourful enough at the best of times, but with a woman who seems to be patterned on the original Amazon mould, one who can fight with the toughest troops and lead full-blooded assaults against stern opposition, that history becomes really enthralling. Such a woman is Belle Starr, bandit queen of the Ozarks, and in the picture bearing her name, which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre, there is rich entertainment. The part of the “petticoat terror” is brilliantly played by Gene Tierney, who marries the guerilla leader, Sam Starr (Randolph Scott). The story starts at Belle’s home at Carthage, Missouri, just after Lee’s surrender. She is determined to fight for the South, and becomes the most daring member of the Starr band. She routs trained soldiers, seizes trains and generally gives a performance as thrilling as any given by the most hard-bitten westerner. It is grand adventure, with acting, photography and production excellent. There is a good supporting programme.
