STATE THEATRE

“THE SKY’S THE LIMIT.”

A brilliant cast headed by one of the most popular and talented personalities on the stage and screen today Jack Buchanan; the sensational screen debut of a fascinating Russian singer —Mara Losseff; six lilting new musical numbers destined to set the whole town humming; two intriguing new dances; a gay story of love and laughter; abounding in sparkling repartee, uproarious situations, novel dramatic twists, with a magnificent climax high above the clouds —such are the rare and pleasing ingredients of “The Sky’s The Limit,” a joyous new Jack Buchanan Production to be presented at the State Theatre tonight. It is characteristic of the tremendous versatility and limitless energy of Jack Buchanan that in addition to playing the starring role, he also collaborated in the story with Douglas Furber and co-directed the film with Lee Games. Mara Losseff, whose glorious, clear soprano voice will be heard for the first time in this country in “The Sky’s The Limit,” has already thrilled audiences in every big capital on the Continent and it seems certain that the screen holds a very big future for this vivacious Russian beauty. Jack Buchanan is cast as a young aircraft designer in Lord Beckley’s Aircraft Company, who has invented a new type of ’plane in which the Air Ministry is interested, while Mara Losseff appears as a beautiful opera singer who mistakes the young inventor for the wealthy Lord Beckley’s nephew. Heading the supporting cast are David Hutcheson and William Kendall. This most delightful and tuneful production has drawn crowded houses throughout New Zealand. Secret- passages, sliding panels and all the ingredients of a thriller, combined with delightful humourous incidents make “The £s.Man,” which will be shown at the State Theatre commencing tomorrow an outstanding picture. -
