Flashes From Stars

Frances Starr, who plays the leading
rolc in Henri Bernsteln's "The Secret
at the Broad Street Theatre. had her
first introduction TO the Joys of country
life last summer at Pine Lake. in south
elm Wisconsin. Miss STAIRS love for the
out-of-door life is as real and deep as her
ambition is big. She is an excellent
swimmer, but her real out-of-door hobby
and the ono in which she takes the
greatest delight is mountain climbing
True, she was not able to indulge in this
favorlte pastime the past summer, but
nevertheless she formed some very de-
cided ideas on the subject. For one
thing Miss Starr says. that 1t is this
out-of-door test that reveals a mans
character and stamps him as worthy or
not only with the ordinary problems of
life, but to qualify for the more exacting
role Of husband

The man secretly worshiped the

got the facts from him. So! She had
not only to solve the mystery of the
sleeping house, but to save her lover
also. He would be without mission
in that fantastic house and it was quite
likely that he would be made to suffer

Bravely she set out for the hease

for her to slip through.
