"MY SIN"
EXCELLENT SHOW AT THE KING'S
This excellent show "Aty Sin." ciumot be anything but good with Tallulah Bankhead and Fredrio March in the lead, and Harry Scott Kolt, Anne Davenport, Sutherland and Margaret Adama in the supporting role.
The film starts with the scum vt the earth congregated, among the dingy dives of Panama's water- front. There Frederie March. one- time respected member of the legal profession, now a human derelict, meets Tallulah Bankhend, a sing ing hostess in a low-class cabaret, a woman fleeing from her past and hiding from a husband who preya on her for money.
Tallulah is discovered by her no- good husband who attempts to rob her of her small koard of savings. A struggle in her room results in Tal- the shooting of her husband lalah is accused of murder, and, because of het unsavory reputation, no reputable. lawyer will defend her.
