STATE THEATRE

4 NEW ZEALAND TROOPS RETURN FROM CRETE. Rounds of applause followed the showing at the State Theatre on Saturday night of a lengthy piclure depicting hundreds of New I Zealand troops, including Maoris, returning from Crete, the whole making a thrilling episode which stirred the audience to great enthusiasm. Scenes of debarkation, the transport of the troops to Egypt, the gallant spirit and cheerfulness shown by them under most trying circumstances and close up views of scores of the men, who could be easily recognised by their relatives and friends, provided fare which the audience greatly appreciated. There were also excellent pictures of Mr P. Fraser, the New Zealand Premier, addressing the New Zealand troops in the Middle East, with the men cheering hihi. The film “Pot o’ Gold,” is a brilliant comedy full of catchy tunes and excellent music. The story is concerned with the efforts of a young man to enliven a notoriously dull radio programme sponsored by his uncle. His efforts meet with little success until the appearance of an impecunious dance band which the nephew hires to take part in the programme. At the conclusion of the

session Paulette Goddard, -who plays the role of a pretty young girl assisting the band, announces that in future 1000 dollars will be given away at the conclusion of every programme. This makes the session famous Overnight. James Stewart is cast as the impulsive nephew of the eccentric millionaire, and the dance band is represented by Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights.
