STATE THEATRE
“ROXIE HART.” As a gum-chewing publicity-wise but small-time dancer of the roaring days of 1927, Ginger Rogers in the title role of “Roxie Hart,” which will be shown at the State Theatre tonight, outshines anything she has previously done. The story tells now Roxie takes a murder rap in order to get on to the front pages and over the air and the tremendous build-up she gets could happen only in Chicago in 1927. With Adolphe Menjou as a slick lawyer, she dramatises her trial in one of the most hilarious sequences of the screen. It is a classic piece of comedy. SUNDAY PICTURES. At the request of the local civic authorities pictures will be shown at the State Theatre every alternate Sunday, commencing on Sunday, May 16.
