STATE THEATRE

“SUNNY.” ■ The musical comedy, “Sunny,” will be finally shown tonight. “YOU’LL FIND OUT.” The programme tomorrow night is an excellent one in every respect and covers a variety of subjects. The chief attraction, “You’ll Find Out,” is a combination of mirth, melody and mystery. The plot is a most unusual one and provides plenty of interest for patrons. The acting is of a high standard with each artist having a part particularly suitable to his or her talents. It is brilliantly staged and altogether the is one which should not be missed by those picturegoers who appreciate good entertainment. “You’ll Find Out” is delightful and different. The shuddersome portions are provided by those thoroughgoing villains. Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, who are seen as three diabolical individuals engaged in the reprehensible task of trying to murder a charming young lady so they can make a lot of money. Against this sinister scheme and its appropriate background of a gloomy old mansion stuffed with savage trophies and trick passageways, is laid the tuneful story of Kay Kyser, a syncopating sleuth who comes to the mansion with his band to play for the heroine’s birthday party and winds up unravelling the fiendish machinations of. the three bad men. Before the unravelling, however, there are a series of sprightly seances, mysterious disappearances, hilarious comedy moments, several narrow escapes from sitdden death and a flock of catchy new songnumbers.
