MY SIN" WITH TALULLAH BANKHEAD AND FREDERIC
 MARCH COMING TO STATE

My Sin." a thrilling social drama, will be presented at the Warner Bros State theater, on Wednesday next for three days.
 My Sin" tells the story of the redemption of two human derelicts almost submerged, one through wild living, the other by the touch of remorseless circumstance. Yet. character remains-and through the influence of an understanding love their broken lives are mended.
 TaIlulah Bankhead and Fred eric March, co-stars of great talent and versatility, carry the burden of the story, supported by cast of superb artists of reputation on the stage.
 The picture opens with a Panama setting. March, shabby and un- shaven, portrays. Dick Grady" He resents being called a beggar by a former acquaintance whom he asks for money. He meets "Carlotta," :" portrayed by Bankhead, and inter- est develops, and is graphically portrayed and vividly dramatized. A man is murdered and "Carlotta' is held for the crime and Grady" lawyer, defends her. The story is gripping; the scenes varied and vivid.

other line of work might be more
 'congenial.' He made it plain
 enough. all right! I didn't want
 to take the lousy check for last week but he insisted. Even said
 I could stay on longer if I wanted
 to. He knew wouldn't do that!
 He knew I'd never set foot again
 in the damned place"
 There was more of the same
 much more-for the next hour. At the end of that time they decided it was too late to go elsewhere. For another hour they discussed ways and means and their financial situ- ation. After that they went to bed.
 Sunday each of them tried scrupulously to give the impression of being utterly unworried. Prep aration and serving of the dinner, the bulky Sunday newspaper to be
 sorted over and read, helped this
 deception. Mark dropped to the davenport in the afternoon and took a nap. Toward evening they put on wraps and went out into the cool air for a walk.
 Monday morning brought the in-
 evitable problem. Where was Mark to find work? He breakfast ed as usual, put on hat and coat and departed. Shortly before six he returned. Norma. aware of his
 pride. asked no questions.
 Three days passed, then four.
 Each 24 hours became dreary repetition of the one before. Nor
 ma, so anxious to be helpful, so eager to hear bad news as we'll as
 the good. was wise enough to wait for Mark to speak. She knew
 pocketing his pride was for Mark the hardest struggle.
 A week went by in this fashion.
 Presently Norma noticed that each
 newspaper "help wanted" col
 umns. She noticed he set the
 alarm clock for half an hour earl
 fer. What struck her painfully in the transformation taking place
 was the disappearance of the gay
 alertness from his eyes, loss of the
 old brisk confidence. He talked
 less, fell into moody silences that lasted a long while.
 Displays of irritability were less
 frequent. Marks lips were hard
 ening into a firm line. Sometimes
 Norma almost felt the man across the table was stranger.
 A dozen times she regretted the
 money spent for her pretty crepe frock. In spite of it's cheapness | the dress was luxury. She could
 have done as we'll without 1t. Norma wasted not penny these

DAVIS LAUDs FREE TRADE.
Potential Philippine Disaster Prevented,
Governor States.

BY the Associated Press.
Free trade with the United States was
credited yesterday by Gov Gen. Davis
with saving the Philippine Islands from
a major economic disaster as result
of the world depression.
Davis, in his annual report issued
here. said the islands had not escaped
the depression. but were suffering from
it less than the other countries.
There is no question that the one
thing which saved the Philippine Islands
from a major economic disaster was
the free access to the enormous Amer
lean market" Davis said. We could
not have sold our sugar and many other
crops in any other market"
Although prices of the islands prin-
cipal products have fallen, in some
cases to the lowest level in 40 years
Davis said, increased volume had made
up to some extent for the loss in price.
Aside from the economic situation.
Davis reported conditions as a whole
have not been unsatisfactory" with
excellent health conditions and little
unrest.
