In The Local Theaters
STATE

"Dr. Ehrlichs Magic Bullet" an
important screen achievement that
will be remembered for years to
come by those who see it, opened its
enGagere1S NJ the Warner Bros.
State Theater yesterday and was en-
Enthusiastically greeted by capacity
attendance at all performances.
Just as Mum rocked the public
dan remains forever in its memory
for his brilliant characterization Of
''Pasteur" SO too will Edward G..
Robinson rise to new heights in
screen annals for his difficult and
splendid portrayal of DR.. Enrich, a
scientist who like Pasteur had to
overcome many obstacles and hard
ships in his efforts to benefit man
kind.
In this picture Robinson turns
from his customary melodramatics
to the Thoughtful role of scientist
"a man who faces petty stupidity
envy and intolerance but who is
triumphant in the end.
Robinson In the role of Ehrlich
is supported by an outstanding cast
composed of Ruth Gordon as his
sympathetic wife, Adolphe Basser-
man as DR.. Koch, head of distin-
guished institute for scientific ex-
perimentS. Otto Kruger a fellow
scientist, Maria Ouspenskaya as the
philanthropic Franziska Speyer,
Montagu Love as the gifted Pro-
lessor Hartman and Donald Crisp
as the Prussian Minister of Science
Many other screen favorites ae of
considerable help in making this
an important screen achievement.
The film dramatizes the life of
the famed doctor whose notable
contribution to medical science was
the discovery of COG, the cure for
syphilis, and traces Ehrlich's &C
compnshments over period oil
years. It takes up the story when
as a young doctor in the Kaiser
wilhelm HOSP ital, he was more in
terested in research than in the ar
bitrary routine established by his
smug superiors.
All in all here is picture fol
everyone. Put it right on top o!
your "must" list and be sure to sex
it at the State before the fina
performances Saturday evening.
And for your further enjoyment
