Miss Reed IS a fascinating person In
the last two plays that / have seen her,

the very, very Laughty woman Of the

al skill and such seductive charm that

she draws into her net.
Miss Reed is a well-balanced indi-
vidualist. and that's a very rare COM
binatiOn; her vivid personality shows
in everything she does, and off the
stage she is even more sparkling and
animated than on it,. 1t was with much
difficulty that I finally brought her
down to the A, B. c. of beauty culture.
