POWELL-FRANCIS HIT, ZONE WAY PASSAGE" CLOSING AT STATE; JOAN CRAWFORD IN BRAIN" TOMORROW.

"One Way Passage" latest co- starring hit of William Powell and Kay Francis, concludes its. engage ment at Warner Brothers State with performances this evening.
 Decidedly the finest co-starrtn1 effort of this popular pair of screen celebrities, "One Way Passage" has been delighting large audiences at the State since it's opening last Wednesday.
 Tomorrow brings the long awaited sensation of the talking screen, "Rain," starring Joan Crawford.
 If any skeptics remain who doubt that Joan Crawford's name should be placed at the forefront of the screens leading dramatic actresses, they will find much to convince them they are wrong after watching Joan.s marvellous performance in this great play.
 Rain" as you probably know is an adaptation of w. Somerset Maugham's story which Jeanne eagles immortalized on the stage. It concerns itself with young wo- man of Timber morals who finds herself quarantined by cholrea on South Sea island with other pas sengers of the ship on which she had been bound for Apia. It Is the morals of the girl contrasted to the rigorous teachings of the reformer which provides. the background of the story. That, and the incessant rain whose monotony finally drives the entire company to a state little short of insanity.
 Miss Crawford never has attained such artistry as she displays here, and her ecstasy seems to have found it's way to every other mem- Der of the company, Walter Illus ton, William Gargon, Guy Kibbee, Walter Catlett, Matt Moore and Beulah Bondi, who also present magnificent characterizations.
 This splendid feature attraction will be accompanied /by a special r deluxe surrounding program.
