STATE THEATRE
"TAKE MY TIP" TO-NIGHT. In "Take My Tip,'' which screens at tke State Theatre to-night, we have Jack Hulbert and Cicily Courtneidge, tke screen's eraziest comedy star, teamed again in a riot of nutty situations, witty dialogue, tuneful numbers and smart settings. England's greatest laugh manufacturer is in turn a British peei-, an oil well magnate, the world's worst golfer and Callavini, the head waiter in his former butler's hotel. What a marvellous set-up for tlie iniinitable Jack. As Lord and Lady Pilkington, Jack and Cicily are very fond of each other, but their individual extravagances lead to lrequent quarrels. Then George, wkilst taking a Turkish batli, is T>ersuaded by a shady linaucier named Buchan to purchase a nonexistent oil well, for £15,000 which we discover is tlie entire fortune of the Pilkingtons. Buchan, of course, disappears, and tiie couple are left to face a somevvhat dismal future. However, a former butler in their housekold named Paradine turua up, provea to be the owner of a palatial hotel in. Dalmatia, and offers them both positions there. They 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 the hotel, and George perfornis the job of an ingratiating head waiter — and then the fun commences.
