FREDERIC MARCH IN "MY
 SIN" AT STATE TOMORROW

Paramount's My Sin" starring Talullah Bankhead and Frederic March comes to Warmers State for a three day engagement to- morrow.
 All the world knows of the as- tonishing success of Tallulah Bankhead on the open stage, par ticularly in London where for eight years she became a vertible craze with English devotees of the thea ter. And the Londoner knows his dramatics. They are all schoolcd in the art of make believe" They spot talent instantly and never fail to award merit generous acclaim And when talent is buttressed by beauty, then all London becomes enslaved to the new queen of the drama. This was Tallulah's set ting for eight years.
 When Miss Bankhead returned to her native land, Paramount inn mediately secured her for the stel- lar role in Furnished Lady" in which she scored an unquestioned victory as screen star of extraor- dinary brilliance.
 In My Sin," Frederic March plays opposite Miss Bankhead. The play is a thrilling story of the re- generation of two human derelfcts through mutual sympathy and ar understanding love.
 Here is a story that demands ar actor of strength, versatility, and inherent sympathy for its leading male characterization. Paramoun, made 8 wise selection when they cast March fo rthe part. He has q likable personality and a resrvoii of dramatic ability ample for the most strenuous demands, yet he can be delicate when subtleties are required in the part.

 "Oh, Jack, Jack, Jacki"
 She said it aloud and did not know that she did.
 Down the street she could see the entrance of the rooming house. One more dash from tree to tree and she would be there.
 A tall figure waited within the door at the entrance of the house. As she started up the steps, 1t stepped out, and strong arms reach ed down and drew her to shelter. She was so weak, so tired that she let Dr Barnes pull her to him, scarcely realizing what she was doing.
 "The storm was--was dreadful" she said because she thought she must say something.
 "Sue, Sue, where have you been " There was no mlStaklnS the tenderness, the solicitude in the young dentists voice. i've been watching for you. What happen ed?"
 Nothing, nothing at all"
 She was aware now of the en- circling arms, and slipped out of them, gently, but firmly. T was caught in the rain, that was all, she said, but she smiled at him as she said it. It was nice to know somebody had worrier. She step- ped insidethe door.
 She was dimly aware that be- hind her Dr Barnes was speaking. Listen, sweetheart, you've got to listen"
 She wondered if he realized the term of endearment had slipped out. Wondered even while her eyes roamed down the hall. and grew wide as they met the gray eyes or another man, who waited beyond.
 "Jack!" She caught her breath on the magic name.

One of the chief sources of ul- happiness in our modern civiiiza- ton is "clothes consciousness"
 Children are as susceptible to 1t as older people, girls particularly. and the craving for different or bett clothes often becomes an obsession that crowds out all ca- pacity for other pleasures. Why human beings fall such easy prey to this desire for adornment 1t Is difficult to say, but so real and so deep is it planted in our breasts that 1t is classed among the nat ural desires, when, as a matter or fact, nature had nothing to do with 1t at all in the beginning.
 Clothes Bring Unhapptness.
 Here is a small girl we shall call Betty. Betty Is not herself; she is irritable, impatient, without appetite, and without ambition, as she beholds all the others girls in her little crowd with new striped sweaters and gay caps, while she goes about in her old tan coat and hat.
 Her clothes-complex makes her so unhappy that she cannot enjoy anything else about her. The other girls do not realize it: they are entirely unconscious of their friends failure to have the latest trick rigging for school. She Is pretty, immediately clean, wears becoming plain green dress in good taste, and the tan coat and hat look perfectly fine on her.
 But Betty does not know that the girls are indifferent to her clothes, nor that they like and ad- mire her for herself. She begins to imagine things. They think she is poor; they think her mother is peculiar or stingy; they think she is slow and not up-to-date!
 It's a Common Misfortune.
 What a tragedy! Yet it is re- peated day after day in every school in the country. Ask and girl who went through that period when all the other girls were first starting to wear high heels and silk stockings to school. If her mother was one of the few who held on to the last, and made her daughter step out in heavy ribbed cotton because 1t was sensible and cheaper, she probably suffered tor lures.
 The real answer to these child ish miseries very likely would be a sort of uniform for all scholars, but that is not practice, for cer- tain children could not afford 1t. Most private schools have adopted the idea, however.
 The next best answer is for mothers with young daughters to try to cooperate on the dressing question, and not to struggle to keep up with the best dressed one of the crowd or to rival her; to make the standard plain, com mon sense one that each girl could reach would be far wiser.

 He drew the water from the tap. filled a tumbler and raised it to his lips. Norma hesitated. then said:
 Listen, Mark. you must have known it was terribly foolish to spend money on flowers when there's the rent to pay next week. Those roses cost at least $10. We won't have a cent now! I thought we could manage to pay $15 each week instead of the $60 all at once. Mrs Tracey said they pay their rent that way so l know it's all right. But now the moneys gone! We'll have to move.

 s'Can I look now?" Norma de- manded. Her two hands were clapped tightly over her eyes and she was smiling. "Oh, can't wait! Do let me look now!" she begged.
 "Iust a minute there! Keep those eyes closed until I say Ready. Now-hold your hands out!"
 Something bulky, something made of paper was placed in the girls arms. A box she was cer- tain. Yes, big box though 1t wasn't in the least heavy.
 Mark, what on earth have you got here?"
 ''Did I say ready? Keep those eyes shut! Lord. but you're hard one to manage. Now wait minute --there, I guess you can look. Ready"
 Norma opened her eyes. She blinked them. Why, Mark Trav- ers-flowers! Oh, it must be flowers-gorgeous ones! I've never seen such a big box. Why, why Mark-!"
 Fully four feet long was the sil- yer gray box in the girls arms. The crest on the cover she recog- nizefi as the symbol of the most ex- elusive flower shop in Marlboro.
 Impulsively Norma slipped the lid back. Green transparent wrap pings inside. Deep scarlet showing through them.
 "Oh, how beautiful!"
 She had drawn away the wrap pings. A dozen roses. velvet petalled, of that magnificent shade that blends flame with crimson. lay revealed. Their leaves sparkled with dewy moisture. They were long-stemmed. patrician blossoms. Their fragrance bathed the girl in heady, spiced sweetness.
