prior opportunity for the exhibition OF
her best qualities as an actress, this
being her first appearance as star
before the popuace of large city in
a role entirely worthy OF her.

quite the best he has yet accomplished
during his career OF altogether extra
ordinary success

brilliant success with the Introduction
