STATE THEATRE
“GASBAGS.” With a cast headed by the famous comedy team of Flanagan and Allen, “Gasbags” will be shown at the State Theatre tonight. In startling contrast to the many war pictures, this film, turns the European situation into a background of riotous farce. Screamingly funny situations pile one upon another. Digs at Hitler and his doubles are not excluded from this merry story, and the heads of the Nazi party would be very annoyed at the gibes at the Gestapo, the concentration camp buffooneries, and the skits on the Fuehrer and “Fatty” Goering, to mention but some of the knock-about fun of this hilarious picture. This is a picture that will make you forget your worries. In this film three of the most popular comedy teams —Nervo and Knox, Flanagan and Allen, and Naughton and Gold —are gathered together and expertly directed by Marcel Farnel.
