The demi-v!erge is undeniably an inter-
esting figure in fiction. She was a best
seller I'm her last incarnation. The Sala-

the pages Of book. But will she be
dramatic on the stage Above all, will
any creature such as owen Johnson drew

behind the footlights? THIS was the ques-
ton that was Ia the mind of the audience

in the play. She tricked and deceived
men. some Of them she loved others she
pretended to. and all of Them she utilized
for her own purposes. Her superiority
TO her sister of the sidewalk seemed
largely Hypothetical The fact that she
was presumably different In details did
not make her any stronger as a creature
for the stage.
Mr.. Johnson lays the scene Of his
play In the famous room Of DOdO on lower
