STATE THEATRE.
“VICTORIA THE GREAT.” Although an historical drama, “Victoria the Great” is revealed more intimately as a love story, the charm and beauty of which are all the more appealing because of its royal setting. This picture will be shown again at the State Theatre this evening. The romance of Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha evokes reminiscences in the bosoms of the old, and tints the dreams of the young. Considered merely as a beautiful spectacle, “Victoria the Great” is said to rank high as entertainment. But the crux of the story lies in its romance. The Queen is played by Anna Neagle. Because of the conflicting emotions it arouses, “Victoria the Great” is replete with surprises. There can be few dull moments as the film sweeps rapidly through its wide cycle of world-wide Empire events. Besides Anna Neagle. as Victoria, and her co-star, Anton Walbrook, distinguished Continental actor, in the part of Prince Albert, H. B. Warner, Walter Rilla, and Mary Morris are in the cast. On Saturday at the State George Arliss will be seen in “Dr Syn.”
