STATE THEATRE
"TAKE My TIP" TO-NIGHT. In "Take My Tip,'' which screens at the State Theatre to-night, we have Jack Hulbert and Cicjly Courtneidge, the screen's craziest comedy star, teaxued again in a riot of nutty situations, witty dialogue, tuneful numbers and smart settings. England's greatest iaugh manufacturer is in turn h British peer, an oil well magnate, the world's worst golfer and Cailavini, the head waiter m his former butler's hotel. What a marvellous set-up for the inimitable Jack. As Lord and Lady Pilkington, Jack and Cicily are very fond of each other, but their individual extravagances lead to frequent quarrels. Then George, whilst taking a Turkish bath, is persuaded by a shady financier named Buchan to purchase a nonexistent oil well, for £15,000 which we discover is the entire fortune of the Pilkingtons. Buchan, of course, disappears, and the couple are lci't to face a somewhat dismal future. However, a former butler in their household named Paradine turns up, proveB to be the owner of a palatiai hotel in Dalmatia, and oft'crs them botli position s there. Tkey are obliged to accept, and Hattie — who was formerly a musical cemedy actress — indulges her former talents and becomes a wealthy coffee heiress, hostess at tho hotel, and'George performs the job of an ingratiating head waiter — and then the fun commences.
