DRAMATIC ROLE FOR BETTE DAVIS
Telling the dramati a woman who stoops to virtual murder, as well as blackmail, in her struggle for riches, “The Little Foxes” presents an arresting theme to filmgoers. Bette Davis is starred in the Samuel Goldwyn production, which comes to the State Theatre on Friday. Regina’s brothers plan the erection of a big cotton mill, but they need the financial help of Horace Giddens, her husband, played b” He“bert Marshall. He
refuses it, to Regina’s fury. The brothers steal the needed funds, thus eliminating their sister as a partner. But the theft is discovered, and when Horace prevents the vengeful wife from blackmailing her relatives, Regina deliberately brings about Horace’s death so she can go ahead with her scheme unhindered. Not until it is too late does Regina begin to realize what she has lost in her mad fight, and the realization affords the picture its striking climax.
