STATE THEATRE.
“CHARLIE CHAN AT THE CIRCUS.” A big top chief is found dead, a murderer terrorizes the ranks of the circus performers, and then the wily Chinese detective, Charlie Chan, is called upon to solve the most terrifying mystery of his long career. How Warner Oland, as Charlie Chan, tracks down the killer through a fascinating maze of clues at the risk of his own life is revealed in the Fox thriller, “Charlie Chan at the Circus,” which will be shown at the State Theatre today, at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m. With the circus as the scene of the crime, Chan finds himself involved with a mass of clues. The dead owner, not having been on friendly terms with his performers, leaves all of the troupe open to suspicion, including even the savage gorilla who was missing from his cage at the time of the crime. •When a poisonous cobra finds its way to Chan’s room and almost put an end to the wily detective’s career, he becomes convinced that the murderer is one of the troupe. Reserves at F. J. Adcock’s, ’phone 1275.
