In It's American version II represents
the craft of Frederic Ranken and Gus
tave Kerker.
"Winsome Winnie" has many music
al numbers, several of which are Of an
Enthusiastically high class. and their rem
dition is effective.
Paula EdwardSs, as Winsome Win
ME, an American soubrette lost In
foreign land, keeps the action OF the
play alive in the entanglements into
which she falls while endeavoring to
return to her native land. She domi-
mates the whole production, and, as
rule, the stage seems lonely spot
when she is not in sight. Miss Ed
wardes here has the best opportunity
of her career to shine and may truly
be said to twinkle, twinkle, like the
star In the song of our childhood days.
Necessity, the fruit of adversely,
causes Winsome Winnie Walker to
have many adventures. We first see
her as she climbs over the sea wall at
the boat landing in Cataro, Montene-
gro, remarking the while, "Wen. this
isn't the FIRST tinne I've come in with
the tide" She knows Of no place to

purchase food. Having 4 case full OF

to earn few pence by exhibiting them
to the populace. Among her reptiles
are "a garter snake with diamond
buckle and a viper who prefers to lin.
ger In the pen, "a regular pen-viper."
Later she meets a party of tourists,
paying guests" of Lord Poverish

She changes places with Marjorie Bell,
miIord's wealthy American ward,
enacted by Isobsi Hall, who Is in love
with Desmond Poverish, milord's son,
and wishes to ascertain whether or not
he will love her for herself alone or for
her money. We also see before us.
