The Baltimore Sun says of Miss Josephine
Cameron: "a week of modern drama
opened with Miss Josephine Cameron as the
chief exponent. Forget Me Not was the
opening play, with the star as 'Stephanie,'
the heroine. The character is not an alto
gether pleasant one, but it requires dramatic
power in its rendering. Miss Cameron
pleased the audience by her conscientious
work, and was heartily applauded IN all OF
| her scenes, particularly in the stormy
meeting with Sir Horace Welby' OF the
play. In this and in her general portrayal
| OF wicked woman's temporary triumph
| over virtue and innocence until her final
downfall, the star succeeded in presenting
an entertaining piece Of work throughout"
