STATE THEATRE
“Under Age,” the main feature at the State Theatre, tells of young girls—under age—who are forced through circumstances to accept jobs in roadside resorts operated by tourist camp racketeers who, once they have the girls in their clutches, prevent them through fear and force from complaining to the authorities. As a film it is a worthwhile contribution to the “Crime Does Not Pay” series. Sensational and of the" shocker variety perhaps, but one should remember that these things not only can but do happen. ‘
Acting honours go to -i girl with only a small part: Yolande Mollot who plays the part of Lily, one of the girls at the roadside resort. Alan Baxter has the makings of a first-class star, and could go a long way, but he is allowing himself to become stereotyped in a role which, in a queer way, stands out the first time one sees it, but which, if he perseveres in it, will ruin his chances of doing something better. Jack Holt, never known to let down a film in which he is starred, plays the lead in “The Great Swindle,” the second film on the programme.
