"Frou Frou."

Commencing Sunday night, March f.
four nights, with Wednesday souvenir
matinee, Miss Georgia H5rper will pre-
sent 'FTOU FrOU.' Miss Harper's pro-
ductiOn of this successful drama is said
to be among her most artistic crea-
tons. It has been used as a vehicle for
the worlds most famous artists. "Frou
FrOu" is a part that calls for versatiI-
ity, and Miss Harper demonstrates her
aptness. Her portrayal is artistic and
lifelike. Her support, headed by
Joseph DERRICK, is specially fitted for
this play The production will be
mounted with special scenery.

If half the good things that are being

of the bad traits in her brOther-in-law' S
character, and in order to protect the
interests of the children she decides to

a decided liking.
When Weems finds out that the suit
will be brought. and that an engagement
has been announced between Sylvia and
Philip, he arTanges a situation during
which it becomes possible for him to
prove to Sylvia that Warnings only mo-
