was the effect the play produced upon
the girls when it was given for them In

they received the play filled me with
more gratitude than all the response

We would caution Mr. Chesterton

the unique position OF being practically
the only impersonal actress extant She
simply will not talk about herself.
About her work her studies OF the art

she is snguarly talented; but about

cares for. With them the play is the
