STATE THEATRE
A whole new world of joy-laden wonder comes winging from the snowsilvered Norseland with America's newest and sweetest sweetheart, Sonja Henie—radiant beyond imagining, in "Happy Landing," the 20th Centuury-Fox production which opens at the State Theatre to-njght, and is to be screened on Thursday and Friday. ; This lithe, ecstatically graceful Norse nymph, who came to American motion picture .fans only two pictures ago and astonished the entire world with her skill as a skater and an actress, is radiantly re-united with her "One in a Million" sweetheart, Don Ameche, in her third hit, "Happy Landing." The local custom that a young man who dances twice with a girl is proposing to her gets Romero involved in a love affair which is all hero-wor-ship on the art of a lovelorn Sonja, and all basking in the ever-satisfying' warmth of egotism. Don Ameche, sincere in his interest, tries to keep things on an even keel, but there is the matter of another girl of Romero's back in the States. How Romero finally is snagged by Ethel Merman—and how the "One in a Million" sweethearts, Sonja and Don, are re-united—is a silvery, superlative musical.
