EMPRESS AND MOUNT ALBERT
Bursting their way through the door of the Frank Devereaux suite at the Bellevue Hotel, the police found the youth dying from a shot in the chest. Locked in the room with him was a woman who refused to reveal her name but who confessed to the shooting. The woman, a striking beauty, told the police she shot Devereaux after he had locked the door on her and attempted to make love to her. Further mystery was brought into the case when the pretty assailant broke down under questioning and admitted that she had visited the young man's apartment for the purpose or saving another woman’s honour. Considered one of the most sensational shootings in crime history, this vivid tragedy of sacrifice and love is now at the Empress Theatre, Newton, and the De Luxe Theatre, Mount Albert, in “The Locked Door,” an alldialogue United Artists picture, with 52?,. ■k 3, Roc Que, Barbara Stanwyck, William Boyd and Betty Bronson in an all-star cast.
