piramts for fame may we'll be
proud of their ability as actors
and actresses. Each one filled
his or her part in creditable man

heiress, was easy and natural !;
Norisse, as the friend Of the heir

1sired; Launcelot s mother was q
very realistic character, and Miss

a very diginified disciplinarian-
