STATE

There's pulse pounding excite
nlent and side-splitting laughs
packed into every minute Of the
superb holiday show which opened
this afternoon at the air conditioned
Warner Bros State theater.
The excitement and thrills are
provided by George Brent and vir-
ginia Bruce In the headliner 1.-THE
Man Who Talked Too Much; while
the mirthful goings on are handled
by Stan Laurel and oliver Hardy in
the second Zig treat, their funniest
picture to date "Saps at Sea-"
In "The Man Who Talked Too
Much" an outstanding cast appears
in support Of Brent and Miss Bruce.
Such favorites as Brenda Marshall,
Richard Barthlemess and william
Lundigan are seen in featured roles.
The dynamic story of the head
liner concerns a handsome young
lawyer who falls into the hands Of
gangsters and becomes their mouth
piece, gaining reputation as the
smoothest criminal in the city. His
lovely blonde secretary patiently
stands by waiting for his eventual
regeneration: a change Of mind
which arrives after series of swift
ly-paced scenes wherein the life of
his younger brother is threatened.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy will
treat State patrons to uproarious
fun and side-splitting laughter dur
ing the presentation of their newest
comedy "Saps at Sea-"
Just imagine Stan and Oliver as
pair of horn testers In q musical
instrument factory. 1t is their Job
to test D fiat horns, but after a
while the work gets on their nerves
with the result that medico pre-
scribes sea voyage plus diet Of
goats milk. Then the wild fun be-
gins. Well guarantee you'll laugh
yourself right into the aisles. Don't
miss 1t, it's a picnic.
Make your plans now to attend
the State tomorrow. Your 18th" Of
July holiday won't be complete un-
less you relax in the cool. comfort
able atmosphere at this air condi-
toned theater.

THE rNEBRIATEs NUTKITToNAL
UEPRAVITY

Habitual, regular, moderate or
periodical drinkers are generally be-
low par In physical health-the In
eyitakle result Of alcoholism, not the
cause Of the craving. In recent years
for instance, II has been shown that
the multiple neuritis which nearly
or quite disables or paralyzes 50
many drinkers Is due. not to the
alcohol they consume, but rather to
the prolonged shortage Of vitamin
D complex In their diet.

harder than is necessary to wash off

soapy water leaves a film to catch
