THE INFORMER
It's a story as old as humanity itself. and yet it is still being Gearned and probably always will be the lesson that is brought out in RKO-Radio's "The Informer." the coming Wednesday to
on King's Theatre. No man is greater than his weaknesses. And the most dangerous of all weaknesses is a beautiful woman!
Adam learned it when he was expelled from the garden of Eden. And the mischief-making powers of women did not die out with Eve, as history with its tales of Delilah, Helen of Troy, and Madame Pompadour attests. For a goodly percentage of the famous crimes of history and tremendous number of the obscure ones have been inspired by women.
Far more men. however. have been gulded to worthy deeds and greatness by women than have been lured to their destruction.
This theme of the dominance of women over men has been power- fully employed by author Liam by O'Flaherty in his treatment Victor McLaglen," of "The In- former."
