56 SCREENLAND Tallulah, Herself! By Ida Zeitlin The Exciting Life Story of the Alabama Blonde Who Captivated Staid Old London and Wise Manhattan— and Now is Bringing a New Brand of Glamor to the Screen 1 Tallulah's Velvet Fascinations! "Miss Bankhead and her grave-and-gay drama 'Tarnished Lady,' come as a fresh, hot whiff of Life as it is lived by the butterflies of New York. Miss Bankhead flits neurotically from luxurious penthouse to squalid dive. Now she is drunk and wanton in the arms of an ugly racketeer; then she is the patrician wife of a stiff-shirt financier; and again a shopgirl and the mother of the homeliest infant in Hollywood. Miss Bankhead achieves these abrupt transferences magically and with incantations that defy analysis. I revel in Miss Bankhead's smooth veneers and varnishes and agree with her managers in their pronouncement that she is as mysterious and as potent an influence on motion picture civilization as Will Hays or any of the Warner Bros." PERCY HAMMOND, famous critic, in The New York HeraldTribune. Tallulah at ten.' The neighbors never dreamed that this chubby little girl would grow up to be a slim, glamorous figure, the toast of London, the rage of New York, and the star of a motion picture called "My Sin." (That — honestly — is the title of Tallulah' s new movie.)
