STATE THEATRE
CURRENT ATTRACTIONS. The final screening of “The Prince and the Pauper” will be shown at the State Theatre this evening. The execution of an innocent man fifteen years ago furnishes the motivation of “Winterset,” the gripping photo dramatic adaptation of Maxwell Anderson’s stage success, to be screened on Tuesday and Wednesday. A breath-holding, heart-pounding poignant story, “Winterset” revolves about the vindictive search of a young man for evidence to clear the name of his father who was innocently electrocuted fifteen years ago. He comes to a waterfront district, where he discovers one of the real participants in the crime. Simultaneously, he becomes enamoured of the man’s sister, and faces the violent shock of forswearing her or his vengeance. Through a series of suspense-laden events, in which the real murderer and his accomplices and the former judge who directed the misguided conviction are assembled beneath one roof, “Winterset” mounts to a sensational climax.
