STATE THEATRE
BIG DOUBLE PROGRAMME. A simple story, sparkling comedy, strong acting and action-sustained direction are outstanding features of “Remedy for Riches,” the new Jean Hersholt picture which will be shown tonight at the State Theatre. This is the fourth of the “Dr? Christian” series and by far the best. These pictures seem to improve with each film. In this, Jean Hersholt, as “Dr. Christian,” is allowed full scope for his outstanding ability as a character actor. Briefly, the plot concerns itself with' the efforts of a big city promoter to dupe the simple townsfolk of River's End into buying shares in a worthless piece of property for exorbitant prices. Dorothy Lovett, as Judy Price, and Robert Baldwin, as Roy, provide the romantic interest. The associate feature is a thrill-pack-ed drama of the west —“Along the Rio Grande,” Tim Holt's latest . triggerthriller. Other noteworthy performances are contributed by Ray Whitley, singing cowboy; Betty Jane Rhodes, popular radio songstress, and Emmett Lynn. .
