STATE THEATRE
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have their own brand of humour, and “A Chump at Oxford,” the main feature at the State Theatre, is their funniest fulllength film yet. “A Chump at Oxford" traces the careers of two street cleaners who. capturing a bank robber —not that they mean to —are asked by the president what they would like as a reward. They elect to be sent to Oxford for an education, and there they become the targets of many jokes. A fast, and exciting drama of Czarist Russia, “The Rebel Son” is the other feature. Ilary Baur, the Continental actor of fame, plays the lead, and he is supported, among others, by Roger Livescy.
