STATE THEATRE

“MR MOTO’S LAST WARNING.” “Mr Moto’s Last Warning” will be finally shown tonight at the State Theatre. “JUST AROUND THE CORNER.” The special attraction for tomorrow night at the State Theatre will be a picture in which the popular American child actress, Shirley Temple, has the leading role, namely, a bright comedy “Just Around the Corner.” She is cast as Penny, a little girl returning home from boarding school to find her father, an architect, almost bankrupt. He has invested all his capital in a great slum clearance project which’ has been suspended for want of further money. Owing to his financial difficulties he is forced to leave his luxurious apartment and live in the basement of the same building. The reason, he explains to his small daughter, is because “Uncle Sam” is in need of help. Mistaking her father s reference to his country, Penny believes he means a wealthy banker, whom her playmate calls Uncle Sam. Therefore, she stages an amateur musical show to get money to help him. The local newspapers get to hear of the show and make a feature of it. The resulting success and explanation of the misunderstanding make a fitting climax to an enjoyable film. Bill Robinson, Amanda Duff, Charles Fai - rell and Bert Lahr are included in the fine supporting cast. ___
