CINEMA PROGRAMME
KATHARINE HEPBURN’S ACTING. “BREAK OF HEARTS” AT STATE. Showing at the , State Theatre, New Plymouth, “Break of Hearts” is a triumph of acting. Playing the part of a struggling young composer, Katharine Hepburn is splendid. Her versatility and appealing personality class her as an actress of the first degree. As a famous orchestra leader, attractive, sought after by the opposite sex, a man whose life had been a series of love affairs, Charles Bayer handles his part in a manner which leaves no doubt as to his ability as a dramatic actor in a difficult role. The incidental music, provided by an orchestra of 85 pieces, is a striking setting for the story. Although there have been many women in his life the famous musician sees something in this insignificant young composer that he has never found in any other woman. They marry, but his drift back into his former habits make his wife think he had tired of her. She leaves him; then he realises that he has lost the real meaning of life. Success was empty without her. His fall from a great orchestra leader to a drunken sot and his subsequent return through the love of the woman he neglected provide a dramatic and fitting finish to a beautiful love story. On the same programme, “The Cowboy Millionaire,” starring George O’Brien, is a picture of thrills, laughs and drama. The scene, commencing in America, finishes at London, where the cowboy follows a crook and regains the girl he loves.
