production, or how brilliant the cast.
there will always be some one player
who will finger in memory long after
the others Of a company fade from re-
membrance. or are utterly forgotten
after the fall of the final curtain. This
was demonstrated at the New National
Theater here last week. The case in
point was little Miss Edna Reming In
"a Runaway Girl. Her decidedly
clever dancing, both as the pert maid in
the first act and later as the pick
aninny, won the audience at every step.
Miss Reming is not a newcomer TO
the stage, for II was she who made a
name for herself as a child actress
with Mrs. Mckee Rankin. This was
when Miss Reming was a mite or four
years. Later she has appeared in 1.-The
