STATE THEATRE

The final screening of "Prison Without Bars," starring Corinne Luchaire, will be seen at the State The- * atre to-night. The daffy Ritz Brothers are starred in Damon Runyon's "Straight, Place and Show,' which screens "on Saturday and Monday. The film shows the Ritzes off to the races, where they buy horses, sell horses, rent horses, steal horses—in fact, they're a little hoarse themselves before the story reaches its 149th, and final, climax of laughter.

THE EMPRESS. Will Hay's new picture, "Hey! Hey! U.5.A.," to be screened at theEmpress to-night and Saturday, takes • the form of a laughter convention between England and the United States. The famous star joins forces with America's "slow-burn" comedy man, Edgar Kennedy, in shooting the . * wisecracks around, in the heart of Chicago's gangsterland. Fast action played against a unique background, a novel love story and more than* the ordinary quantity of thrills and suspense are the high- .* light features of Universale "Pirates of the Skies," featuring Kent Taylor and Rochelle Hudson, forming the - second unit at the Empress. * "
