"WHEN A WOH.AN SINS"

With that Supreme actress, Theda

most powerful story that has been
put on the screen in the last decade.
It is a story of love, and the impul-
ses of love; of sin. and its burning
cost; of the wild, gay life Of the
abandoned souls OF Broadway; of
the fight of a modern Magdalen
against the frcwning walls of soci-
ety's hypocrisy and smugness.
"The greatest moral lesson | ever
learned" was the statement OF Los
Angeles pastor, after he had seen
"When A Woman Sins" the latest
