STATE THEATRE.
“THE LADY CONSENTS.”
11 The Lady Consents ’ ’ showing at the State Theatre -to-day at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m. brings Ann Harding and Herbert Marshall together on the screen in what is described as a sophisticated and delightful comedy drama of married life. Miss Harding unveils the love psychology of romantic husbands who are constantly indulging in affairs of the heart although they are really in love with their own wives. Her method of curing this “moonlight madness” is unusual and sure, and forms the basis for a fast-moving plot that is spiced with hilarious comedy and softened with genuine heartache. The role offers full scope for the star’s flair for sophisticated comedy and emotional drama. Herbert Marshall, as the philandering doctor, provides the masculine appeal. The action of the picture takes place against a background of metropolitan and suburban New York high life. Stephen Roberts, who recently directed William Powell and Ginger Rogers in “Star of Midnight,” staged “The Lady Consents,” with Edward Kaufman associate producer. Seats may be reserved at F. J. Adcock’s, ’phone 1275.
