McComas has appeared on Broadway,
the Mecca OF all thespians, where she
has won success quite sufficient to turn
her pretty head. She has been devoting
herself of late to training her voice and
has developed high, lyric soprano.
Eastern critics and papers have been
lavish with praises for the California
girl. All who remember Carroll the

debut here seven years ago, will gladly
welcome the graceful young woman,
who has won a high place in the pro-
