All the wild excitement of a fire at sea forms the background of the early sequences of "Dangerous Waters," the thrilling Universal drama, showing at the State Theatre to-morrow at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m., with Jack Holt in the star role. Assured that there is no danger, passengers sit tensely in the ship's lounge, trying to appear at ease. An influential shipper among the passengers demands of the captain that everybody be put into the small boats and headed for an island 20 miles away. The desperately ill commander dies shortly after he has given the order to launch the boats. The First Officer, in the person of Holt, is now in command. He countermands the order knowing that there is no safe landing on the island. A riot of passengers and crew follows, when Holt narrowly escapes death at the hands of an infuriated stoker from the engine room. Thus begins a screen story which is filled with tense, dramatic situations throughout its performance. Reserves at F. J. Adcock's, 'phone 1275.
