STATE THEATRE.

Tomorrow's New Programme.

A hard-fighting metropolitan editor and a dazzling girl reporter swing into action and bring to bay a modern Jekyll and Hyde in the breathtaking mystery, "News is Made At Night," which opens tomorrow at the State Theatre. Murder and revenge keep no hours as Preston Foster, a stop-at-nothing editor, and Lynn Bari, the daring reporter, hurl themselves at the two-fold task of freeing a man innocently sentenced to death, and discovering the master mind that has victimised a nation. It is headline news, sensational and incredible, as the editor and his girl reporter tear the mask of respectability from a master swindler supposedly dead for eighteen years and reveal a trail of murder and blackmail. In addition to the important roles played by Foster and Miss Bari, the cast also includes as featured players, Russell Gleason as the publisher's son, who takes himself too seriously, the lovable George Barbier as a gruff and blunt old newspaperman Eddie Collins as a priceless man servant named Billiard, and Minor Watson as a- society leader and business magnate. Charlie Chan chases his most baffling set of clues in the city of quick divorce in "Charlie Chan in Reno," starring Sidney Toler, the supporting feature. When a glamour girl s life is cut short with a pair of scissors and one of the loveliest ladies in this playground of beautiful women is acI cused of murder, the famous Earl Derr Biggers sleuth flies half-way round the world to solve the crime. The cast ialso includes Ricardo Cortez, Phyllis Brooks, Slim Summerville, Kane" Richmond, and Sen Yung.
