Of society for the sake Of love.
A story which shocked even
blaSe Paris and set tongues wag-
ging around the world, "zaza"
presents Miss Colbert in a role
different from any she has ever

Of the music halls who knew no
authority on earth except her
own heart.

bert's leading man for the first
time, will be seen as the COM
plex "DufreSne," a pillar Of so
ciety who rocks when the allur.
ing actress turns her full charms
on him. From q sober man in,
terested Only in his family, he
turns into the needless and in.
toxicated lover Of a woman
whose name could not even be
mentioned in his own circles.
Supporting Miss Colbert and
Marshall are Bert Lahr, a gay,
comic figure as "Zaza's" stage
partner, "CaScart";; Helen West
ley. who plays the actress tip
