STAGE ATTRACTION FOR STATE A feature of the programme at the State Theatre during the coming week will be the appearance on stage of Miss Gladys Moncrieff and Mr Gil Deeh, who have arrived fresh from a successful tour of northern centres. Miss Moncrieff needs no introduction to Dunedin audiences who will doubtless welcome the opportunity of hearing her during the next few days. Mr Dech, too, is well-known as a pianist of outstanding ability and he should become a firm favourite. The film to be screened will be " Redheads on Parade." The burden of the action of this hilarious new musical comedy falls on the shoulders of John Boles and Dixie Lee, who are said to carry out their assignments in fresh and admirable style. Supported by Jack Haley, Alan Dinehart, Raymond VValburn, Herman Bing and William Austin, and by gorgeous ensembles of red-headed girls, they play the romantic leads. The plot is an amusing story about the production of motion pictures. Dinehart is the producer, Boles is the star, but in the middle of the production they find themselves with no picture at all, because their hackers desert them. Through a series of amusing adventures they find another backer, Raymond Walburn, and from this point the film moves to a satisfactory climax.
