Regular season at the National last night and
found much To laugh at and applaud in
Talked About" in which Miss Viola Allen an
Peared as star. The plot of Talked About is not
remarkable Ior either ingenuity or originality

Viola Allen Is earnest little actress liher-
any endowed with beauty and maidenly grace

elilly ntted her tor such parts as EIOreU and
she has much to unlearn and not "A
