Texas Guinan: Sin Was In!


On 30 September 1933, a California newspaper The San Francisco Rounder printed an article about the ever-popular Texas Guinan.
• • "What Sin Racket? No! You're Wrong!" featured her views framed around the witty soundbites that made her very popular with the press. Such a vibrant woman. This might be the last interview that the 49-year-old entertainer gave before her untimely death in November 1933.
