STATE THEATRE.

“STORMY WEATHER.” “Stormy Weather,” the GaumontBritish comedy to be shown at the State Theatre to-day at 10.30 a.m., 2.15 and 7.45 p.m., is one of those hilarious farces for which Ben Travers has become famous. Four of the old Aldwych players are in the cast, Yvonne Arnaud appearing with the Walls-Lynn-Hare trio. There is an abundance of amusing dialogue and a series of diverting situations. It is a real “laugh vehicle.” The comically absurd story and its bizarre Chinese underworld settings and atmosphere are a departure from the situations usually expected in a Travers farce. Tom Walls and Yvonne Arnaud provide amusing interludes of affectionate indifference to each other. Ralph Lynn puts over his own inimitable type of polite and worried ineptitude, and Robertson Hare contributes one of his customary studies, a little more henpecked than usual. Patrons are asked to note that an additional feature at the 10.30 a.m. 2.15 p.m. sessions will be the of Charlie Chaplin in “The Fireman.” Every child attending the 10.30 a.m. session will be presented with a cake of Charlie Chaplin chocolate.
