THE STATE THEATRE
“PAGE MISS GLORY.” The cosmopolitan comedy, “Page Miss Glory” with Marion Davies in the stellar role and a supporting cast composed of more than a score of Hollywood and featured players, will be presented at the State Theatre to-night and Wednesday. Based on the sensational Broadway stage hit by Joseph Schrank and Philip Dunning with the screen version written by Delmer Daves and Robert Lord, “Page Miss Glory” was assigned to Warner Bros.’ ace director, Mervyn Le Roy, who selected such stars as Dick Powell, Pat O’Brien, Mary Astor, Frank McHugh, Lyle Talbot, Patsy Kelly, Barton Mac Lane, Allen Jenkins and Hobart Cavanaugh for the leading roles. Miss Davies and Dick Powell sing a duet specially written fpr the production by Hollywood’s leading song hit producers, Warren and Dubin. “Page Miss Glory’* is said to be the finest of Miss Davies’ stellar vehicles, and the charming star herself is declared to have risen to even greater heights in her portrayal of the naive country hotel chambermaid who became “Dawn Glory,” America’s outstanding beauty. The plot is hilariously funny, but a charming romance runs through the humour.
