A Gripping, in the . best Maugham style, the play made record runs on Broadway and on the . legitimate stage throughout the world.,;. Its powerful drama, smoothly drawn by its writer and scenarists, makes a perfect vehicle for Bias Bette Davis. Bette Davis a name now full of magic to those who appreciate the art of actingplays Leslie, wife of a Singapore plantation owner. Suave, British Herbert Marshall, is her hus band. Native music tempers a balmy night, moonlight throws shadows of palms and rubber plants against the huts of the plantation. Coolies are asleep in hammocks. A shot rings out from the quiet house, followed by another and another. A man staggers from the Crosbie home, slumps on the porch. Leslie stands over him at the door, smoking pistol in her hand. Leslie tells her story. It is a story for which no jury would convict her. She comes to trial and her aloof gentility, known throughout the Brit ish Orient, is commended as forti tude. But behind the cool eyes, the distant expressions, the straight back, lies a secret, a secret told In a letter.
