STATE
The popular Lancashire comedienne Gracie Fields is featured in the hilarious Twentieth Century-Fox production < Keep Smiling,’ which is being screened for another week at the State. Miss Fields is cast as the leader of a group of players who lose their employment through a quarrel with their dishonest manager. Their slender resources exhausted, they accompany Gracie to her crochety old grandfather’s farm in Kent, where they proceed to eat the old man out of his home. When Gracie refuses to desert her friends to live with her grandfather he turns them all out, but by a stroke of luck they manage to earn £IOO. With this sum they set out to establish themselves as a revue company. - How they succeed in the face of illegal obstruction by their erstwhile manager makes an entertaining climax to a most enjoyable film.
