STATE THEATRE

CURRENT ATTRACTIONS. The final screening of the gay Sonja Henie musical, "Happy Landing," will be screened at the State Theatre tonight. "The Awful Truth," starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, with Ralph Bellamy, Alexander D'Arcy, Cecil Cunningham and Robert Allen in support, will be screened on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Also in a prominent role is Skippy, the "Thin Man" wire-hair pup, masquerading as Mr. Smith. 'The Awful Truth" tells of !the final tiff between "Mrs." Irene Dunne and "Mr." Cary Grant which leads to the divorce courts. There, in what is the most hilarious courtroom scene ever filmed, they battle for the custody of Mr. Smith with Irene the victor. Love, it seems, has no respect for divorce decrees, for the moment Cary announces his intention to remarry, Miss Dunne sets out to win her man again by methods hilarious though perhaps not cricket.

EMPRESS THEATRE.

The complications provided by a prize puzzle picture contest, and the kidnapping of the artist by a gang of racketeers who want inside information on the answers, is the basis of the unique plot of "Everybody's Doing It," new RKO Radio comedy drama. Preston Foster and Sally Eilers are starred. It forms the first unit at the Empress, on Friday and Saturday. Thrills, chills and hilarity race side by side to a super-surprise climax in a great metropolitan hospital terrorstricken by the unseen killer stalking its corridors, the scene of the Mignon Eberhardt story, "The Great Hospital Mystery," the second unit. Jean Darwell heads the cast which features Sig Rumann, Sally Blane, Thomas Beck and Joan Davis.
