Hazel Dawn occupies the stellar
position, not alone by title but also
by achievement. AS Kate Shipley,
Miss Dawn makes friends with every
body in the play and with all who
see it. Her good-fellow disposition
and sterling qualities command re-
spect and inspire love in all who
know her. Hal Clarendon makes a
scheming, cold-heatted Comte De
Crebillion. Lionel Adams is seen as
Captain John Gregory, high-prin-
cipled officer of the dashing, red
blooded type. Wanna Marinotf as
Julie Fonblaque is a rather meek,
sorrowful girl, the victim of an ar
ranged marriage. Nine. Dalberg as
jules mother is painfully conven-
tional, her role calling for that quail
ity. Charles Krauss interprets all
the good nature and patience that
falls to the lot of None Fonblanuue.
The part of the devoted lover, Mons.
Henri de Saint-Hillaire, is played by
David Powell AS the family ply
sician, DR.. Girodet, George, by David
Backus, is quick-witted and a type
physician. The characters of Sylvia
de Crebillion and Mr.. Shipley are
taken by Rollinda Bainbridge and
Clarence Handyside.
Kate Shipley, vivacious Ameri-
can girl, visits her cousin, Julie, at
the Fonblanque chateau in France.
Soon after Kate's arrival Julie mar
ries the profligate Comte de Crebil-
Ion, parental pressure rather than
love being the cause, for her choice
would have been her cousin Henri.
Kate heartily dislikes the comte and
snubs him at every opportunity. She
meets young officer, Captain John
Gregory, with whom she falls in love,
and soon they are engaged.
While in the garden one night the
comte is confronted by a woman he
had wronged They quarrel and the
woman ends her life by jumping into
tie well. Some time later the body
is discovered, the comte's nervous
haste in having it removed exciting
the suspicion of the family doctor,
Girodet.
Unable to stand the comte's harsh
treatment and the absence of the
man she really loves, Julie decides to
elope, and leaves note for Kate,
telling her of her purpose. Kate
goes to the apartment of Henri to
prevent the elopement, and while
there is discovered by Captain Greg
ory and the comte.
Sacrificing herself for her cousin S
name, Kate conceals the presence OF
JUL in Henri's room and accepts the
responsibility of the situation. A
slurring remark from the comte pre-
cipitates duel between him AMI
Gregory. The time is set for the
next morning, Gregory is victorious
AS the comte lies wounded on the
ground DR.. Girodet arrives, examines
him and, informing him he has but
a short time to live, asks him if he
has any statement to make. In a
signed confession the comte discloses
his past life, proving that he had a
wife living at the time of his mar
riage to Julie. The proximity of
the comte's death is but ruse of
the old family doctor. Self-vonvict-
ed, de Crebillon is turned over to the
police and Julie is free to marry
Henri.
Kate, seeing the gallant captain at
the door, leaves a note for him stat
ing that if his faith in her has weak
ened his presence is undesirable, but
If not, you fighting Britisher," /
am in the conservatory.
After reading the note Captain
Gregory knows that the conservatory
is the one place on earth that holds
any attraction for him Just then.
