CURRENT ATTRACTIONS.
The beautiful melodious film, “Music for Madame,” starring Nino Martini, is to be screened at the State Theatre this evening. Samuel Goldwyn’s most ambitious production, the screen version of Sinclair Lewis’s “Dodsworth,” which thrilled millions as a best seller novel and a smash stage hit, screens on Saturday and Monday. Walter Huston repeats the title role he creetad and played for more than two years on the stage. Ruth Chatterton appears opposite him, while Paul Lukas, Mary Astor and David Niven are also prominently featured. Sidney Howard, who made the stage dramatisation of this absorbing and dramatic Story of a hard working, easy going American husband who retired to travel and find himself, but instead found out his selfish, frivolous wife, also wrote the screen play. The story opens in the small mid-dle-western town of Zenith and shifts to the decks of the “Queen Mary,” Paris, London, Vienna, Switzerland, Egypt, Venice, Rome and Naples.
