STATE THEATRE
The final screening of the drama, "Manproof," starring Myrna Loy, Franchot Tone and Rosalind Russell, will be shown to-night at the State Theatre.
"Pygmalion," the screen version of Bernard Shaw's brilliant comedy, is coming on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Bernard Shaw's story, it will be remembered, tells of a Cockney flower girl, who becomes the subject of an experiment to a professor of phonetics. The idea from the phonetic expert's point of view, is to prove that it is possible to take a girl out of the gutter and transform her into a society lady of fine speech and exquisite manners. The working out of the girl's destiny provides a climax of unparalleled dramatic and emotional quality.
