at the Bijou Theatre, as even the most
sanguine of her friends could scarcely
have expected. Her first appearance on
Monday night was greeted with such an

of women showed the humanness of
confusion. She finally pulled herself
together and a hurricane Of laughter
greeted her first words: "Well, after
that, l think I'll take off my hat and
