NOIR CITY 7: MAGAZINE RACK—Arlene Dahl

Indulge my fantasy. You've been framed for murder and have to prove your innocence so you're tailing someone whose activities are highly suspicious and who might lead you to the true murderer. But you have to be careful. You can't be seen and caught. So you watch his activities from a magazine stand across the street, with your trenchcoat collar turned up and your fedora brim bent down, hiding your face in a magazine. Imagine, if you will, that these are the magazine covers surrounding you during your surveillance. Tonight, Castro Theatre, the featured guest will be Arlene Dahl!
