STATE THEATRE
Two entertaining films of widely differing character are now showing at the State Theatre. The first is "Michael Shayne, Private Detective," in which Lloyd Nolan has the title role of the wise-cracking yet likable young sleuth. Shayne's job is, at the outset, to merely keep a watch over the rather flighty, wilful, and attractive daughter of a'wealthy business man, but this simple assignment turns out to be a real job of work when actual crime colours the scene. Marjorie Weaver is the girl in the case. The second feature, a light-hearted but cleverly constructed musical film. "Romance of the Rio Grande,". stars Cesar Romero in a role in which he is perfectly at home. It is a tale of old Arizona before the customs of Snain and Mexico had been ousted by the invasion of North American thought and action. Patricia Morison and Lynne Roberts have supporting roles.
