STATE THEATRE.
“LIVING ON LOVE.” Presenting James Dunn and Whitney Bourne in the leading roles, RKO Radio’s “Living on Love,” which will be finally shown tonight at the State Theatre, is a distinctive screen story which turns down new avenues for laughs, and develops humour from a series of novel incidents. Farce complications pile up rapidly. Not the least of these are furnished by previous attachments of the two. Lew Landers, who directed the film, shows an expert sense of comedy timing in tieing these elements together, and the result is a fast-moving picture which develops new angles before the audience is aware of what has happened. Patrons will see the authentic and exclusive film of the Braddock-Farr fight. Commencing tomorrow at 2.45 p.m. and again at 7.45 p.m. will be shown the musical comedy “A Damsel in Distress,” in which will appear Fred Astaire, Joan Fontaine, George Burns and others. It contains sensational nevz steps, new songs, and new stars. There are good supports.
