STATE THEATRE
COMEDY TO-DAY. Kicking shine, hurling tomatoes, busting windows and raising the roof in general, Jane Withers takes time out from her wild pranks to play a half: pint Robin Hood of lower New York in "Pepper," her new Tw-entieth Cen-tury-Fox picture which opens to-day at the State Theatre. With Irvin S. Cobb and Slini !8ummerville as her hilarious henchmen, "Ginger" Jane goes on a riotous rampage in her new hit that promises to eclipse even the merriest of the mis* chievous miss's previous triumphs. The iilm opens in a wild rush of excitement and eomedy as Jane leads her "gang" through the streets, celebrating the Fourth of July by creating havoc in the neighbourhood. The fun ceases abruptly when Jane comes upon a family being evicted from the tenement fiat and she sends the other kids out to raise eleven dollars necessary to pay the rent. When they fall short of their goal by five dollars, Jane decides to get the money from Irvin S. Cobb, a dyspeptic millionaire. Threatening Cobb with an over-ripe tomato, Jane blackmails him for the money. Two songs are featured in "Pepper," with Jane singing one and also collaborating with Cobb and Summerville in a hilarious rendition of "The Song of the Coyotes."
