STATE THEATRE

“HEARTS IN REUNION” A story rich and real in romance and emotion, assisted by the most uproarious comedy the screen has seen in years, is “Hearts in Reunion,” Twentieth Century-Fox’s latest screen triumph, which is the current attraction at the State Theatre. The picture, which stars the world-famous Dionne quintuplets, and features Jean Hersholt, Rochelle Hudson, Helen Vinson, Slim Summerville, Robert Kent, John Qualen, Dorothy Peterson and many other players, boasts the year’s most important cast in the season’s most unusual drama. Suspense gives way to pathos and pathos to laughter; and dramatic strife alternates with charming romance in the story in which the country doctor (Jean Hersholt) calls his 3000 babies back to him with all their grown-up tears and troubles. A romantic triangle is added by the nurse (Rochelle Hudson) and the country doctor’s nephew (Robert Kent), who is to succeed to the country practice. People whose interests centre in the quintuplets should derive ample satisfaction from this splendid film. Dr Luke, played by Jean Hersholt, on the verge of retirement from the burdens he has carried for a generation, decides to call back from all over the globe the 3000 men and women whom he assisted into the world.
