acterization that first nighters will see
and not that which the stage director
tried to foroce upon her. With a bel
ligerent manner she refused TO accept
the. directors Interpretation of her role
in "A Full House" and eventually won
her case after conducting it like a law
yer and citing authorities like a judge.
The famous Arnold DAILY Bernard
Shaw controversy was her best argu-
mcnt when she showed how the actor
had insisted on his own conception of
the star role in arms and the Man"
and won London favor with il. She
contended that she had been selected
for the leading role in Fred Jackson's
farce because her own Interpretation
was desired. She proposed TO give it

"Mr. Smith says you can't look back
