husband arrives. In the encounter
that follows Regan kills Dever-
eauX. leaves the room. and tacks
a sign. Not to Be Disturbed on
the outside of the locked door, first
having placed the pistol in the hand
of the dead man and given the
scene every appearance of suicide.
Anne. upon emerging from her hid

the room and phones the police for
aid. Upon their arrival she makes
the startling declaration that she
murdered Devereaux in self-de-
tense. The husband then is sum-
moned- The climax that follows Is
one of the most astonishing bits

Miss Talmadge is superb in the
