STATE THEATRE
"THANK YOU, JEEVES!" With a "what-ho" and a "cheerio," Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse's hilarious "gentleman's gent" who knows 'all about women, fiction's funniest character, comes to the screen for the first time in the new Twentieth Century-Fox picture, "Thank You, Jeeves!" screening to-night and on Wednesday at the State Theatre. ■ Droll Arthur Treacher plays the poker-faced valet, with Virginia Feild the "lady in distress," and David Niven as the blundering, butterfingered Bertie Wooster. A typical Wodehouse tale, made funnier than ever by its transition to the screen, "Thank You, Jeeves!" is one of the most riotous of Jeeves' adventures in extricating the inane Bertie from,a peck of trouble and helping him win the lady of his heart. Bertie, with his customary blundering, gets everything all mixed up and it remains for the imperturbable Jeeves, as usual, to straighen matters out, which he. does in a wildly hilarious series of adventures that climax this riotous comedy.
