STATE THEATRE.

“THE HURRICANE” “The Hurricane,” which is to be shown again to-night and for an extended season at the State Theatre, is a dramatic saga of the South Seas. Dorothy Lamour and John Hall head the cast which includes Mary Astor, C. Aubrey Smith, Thomas Mitchell. Raymond Massey, John Carradine and Jerome Cowan. On the low island of the Manukura, GOO miles from Tahiti, as the story runs, two native sweethearts are wed. Their brief happiness is shattered when Terangi, returning to Tahiti on the trading schooner of which he is first mate, is imprisoned for striking a white man who insults him. After five year’s of unsuccessful attempts, the boy escapes from Tahiti and makes his way to his native island. The search for him is at its height when a great hurricane begins to blow up. Unmindful of his own safety the youth goes to Manukura to warn the inhabitants. In the. fury that follows, he plays a heroic part, and the hurricane provides one of the most thrilling and powerful climaxes the screen has ever shown. Reserves at F. J. Adcock’s, ’phone 1275.
