STATE THEATRE
"MTJMMY'S BOYS " Murder, mystery- and merriment among the ancient tombs of Egypt are in store for Bert Wheeler and Eobert Woolsey's- legigon of fans when the popular team of comics comes to the State in "Mummy 's Boys." The crazy comic's nineteenth feature, together, this E.E.O. Eadio film recalls the famous "curse of Eang Tut" so widely headlined in connection with strauge deaths that struck many members of the expedition that opened his tomb. A lusty satire on the ^'terror type" of mystery chiller, it takes the boys from ditch digging in New York to shovelling in the "Valley of Kings, graveyard of Egypt 's Pharoahs, in the face of a similar eurse. The fact that a fiend is employing the supernatural threat of death as a blind for his dirty work spices the hilarity with thrills and leads to a high tension climax. Special For Children. The readmission of children to picture theatres begins on Saturday, when the State will screen in the morning a special programme including "Pepper," starring little Jane Withers. This is the little star's latest comedy and easily her best.
