STATE

Attractions to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers de- lightfully cool State theater include Miriam Hopkins and Joe McCrea in the grand comedy hit "Woman ChaSes Man" also Ricardo Cortez and Sally Eilers in the mystery thriller "Talk of the Devil".
 Wednesday the State presents one of the finest pictures of the sum ner months Q picture destined to win its place among the ten best of the year. It's "The Toast of New York" which has been the toast of Broadway" ever since it was first shown on the Gay White Way.
 Bringing to the screen the romance based upon the career of Jim Fisk, one of the most colorful and spec. tacular financiers and high.rollers of the period immediately following the Civil War, "The Toast of New York" presents Edward Arnold, Cary Grant, Frances Farmer, Jack Oakie and a huge cast in glatetring paro- ram of American drama.
 Fisk, beginning as Q small-town peddler in the photoplay, quickly be- comes one of the most powerful money barons of Wall street. Arnass- ing Q fortune from the manipula- ton of the stock of the Erie Rail- road, he iavishes a kings ransom on Josie Mansfield. an unknown beauty who he sponsors and makes Q Broadway star, only to lose her amid the wreck of his many anbi- tons. The picture has been pro. duced upon an elaborate scale.
 Forbidden by the courts to con- duct the business of the Erie in New York, the resourceful Fisk moves the headquarters of the coin- pany to Jersey City, and when 4 seems that Commodore Vanderbilt will gain control of the road, Fisk works the printing presses overtime to Issue more securities. Colorful and flainboyant, his name Is repeat edly on the front pages of the daily newspapers and his lavish spending Is the eight wonder of the period His end Is equally as sensational as his rise.
 Fresh from her laurels in Come and Get It.. in which she also played opposite Arnold, Frances Farmer has the Josie Mansfield role. Cary Grant, zooming to new star honors is cast as Jim Fisk's pal Dandy Boyd, who finally wins Josie from him. Jack Oakie as another crony of the meteoric financier, has a side- splitting comedy role. Rare humor, as well as spectacular drama, per- vades the action.
 On the same program the State will also present 'It Can't Last For- ever" the lowdown on the fake mind- reading and crystal-gazing racket, Ralph Bellamy, Betty Furness and Robert Armstrong are seen in the leading roles. Watch tornorrow's pa- pers for more news about this mighty show at the State starting Wednes- dy.
