STATE THEATRE

CAPE METBOPOLE." The screen's most exciting sweethearts — lovely Loretta Young and the romantically handsome Tyrone Power — play love's most exciting game while M'sieur Adolph Menjou throws away the rule book, in "Cafe Metropole," which screens at the State Theatre to-night. Continental romance of the gayest and lightest sort — luxurious orchids on ermine, smart as the Hue de la Paix, merry as the third glass of cbampagne, romantio as moonbght on the JSeine — "Cafe Metropole" winds its amusing way against the background of gay Paree and the Continent's most luxurious rendezvous, with Gregory Ratoff, Charles Winninger, and Helen Westley joining the -three stars in the excitement. The lively course of "Cafe Metropole" begins, properly enough, m the swank spot of that name, where Adolphe , Menjou, suave and sophisti.cated, presides deftiy over the affairs •of the restaurant and wonders how he can restore a borrowed 480,000 francs before the auditors arrive. One solution, baccarat, is removed when the young man from whom he wins the necessary sum, Tyrone Power, confesses that he really hasn't any money at all. Menjou, who is expecting the arrival from America of a rich pal#on, Charles Winninger, his sister, Helen Westley, and his daughter, Loretta Young, forces the handsome youth, under threat of exposure to the police, to masquerado as a Russian Prince, in the hope of winning Loretta's hand and her father's marriage settiement.
