STATE THEATRE
“TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME.” “Tall, Dark and Handsome,” which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre, has laughs, excitement, romance, grand music and a top-notch featured cast headed, by Cesar Romero, Virginia Gilmore, Milton Berle and Charlotte Greenwood. Funny as it is throughout, the new film has riproaring drama, and a fine romance between suave Cesar Romero and lovely Virginia Gilmore, a newcomer who appears to be going places fast on the screen. With emphasis on the unexpected, “Tall, Dark and Handsome" is a real entertainment package. Things start happening with the rapidity of Tommy-gun fire when the dapper, big shot gangster, Cesar Romero (who hasn’t the heart to kill), is attracted to Virginia Gilmore, a department store nursemaid. Posing as a “father,’ Cesar induces Virginia to take a job as nursemaid in his palatial home. Cesar is taken for a “ride” . . . . but lives to watch his own funeral! All the men he has “rubbed out” come to life and in a madcap finish he gets his adversary put behind bars. The features, “Fighter Pilot” (Ministry of Information number), “Rupert the Runt” (Animated Terrytoon), Sports Review and the latest overseas News.
