AMUSEMENTS
STATE THEATRE. A cocktail of whoopee parties, love, hate and disillusion is masterfully mixed for the motion picture public in "Penthouse," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production to be screened at the State Theatre to-night and Monday. The picture is a portrayal of modern life in New York, of life in Mad Manhattan's love nests on the roof-tops, of political plotting, clandestine romance —a daring revelation of the merry-go-round of life in the world's wickedest metropolis. "Penthouse" features Warner Baxter, who gives one of his finest screen protrayals as Durant, the society lawyer, and Myrna Loy, as a glamorous nightclub girl who wins his love. EMPRESS THEATRE. John Boles and Claire Trevor are co-starred in "Wild Gold," which is to have its final screening at the Empress Theatre to-night. It tells the story of gold and greed and sacrifice as a 1934 rush brings night club beauties and adventurous men dashing to the whirlpool of life in one of the ghost towns of Western U.S.A.
