popular from the first II such a thing

Client and Ruth Jordan. and they were
accorde d an enthusiastic reception,
especially after the second act. when
they responded 10 fully half a dozen
curtain calls.
The author. William Vaughn Moody,
IN writing THE Great Divide" has

been at the same time bad man.
