STATE THEATRE.
NEW BOBBY BREEN PICTURE. Qualifying as one of the most thoroughly entertaining motion pictures of the season, “Hawaii Calls,” Bobby Breen’s latest musical starring vehicle, will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. This diversified screen-play has all the elements of a successful film, and com- • bines them in a manner that will 1 prove a delight to the theatregoer. ’ Bobby Breen has never before been so happily cast. He appears as a for- ( mer San Francisco bootblack who joins his little Hawaiian newsboy I friend in a trip to Honolulu, as a I stowaway. The young star is com- I pletely natural and boy-like, and gives I by far the finest performance of his career. An especially enjoyable fea- ‘ ture of the picture is Bobby’s singing ■ of half a dozen songs and the youngster fully justifies his reputation as the possessor’ of the screen’s sweetest juvenile voice. Comedian Ned Sparks, in the most important supporting role, is delightful as the ship’s musician 1 who befriends the boys, and Irvin S. ' Cobb makes a little gem of his role as , a gruff, kindly sea captain. ‘
