Girl detectives are hard to play on
the screen without making them seem
too melodramatic. Therefore the
wonderful performance of Hazel Dawn
in the Famous Players Film Com
pany's production My Lady lncog,"
in which this delightful star appears
at the Queen today and tomorrow is
all the more remarkable for the thor
oueh artistry displayed by be, iuterp-
rotation of Nell Carroll. Il IS a sym
pathetic role. Nell is a self-reliant
southern beauty who faces extreme
perils unflinchingly and asks no quar-
ter from anyone. The story is a pow
erful combination of thrills and comic
situations Another feature is the Tri-
angle Keystone comedy. "His Fathers
Footsteps" with the well known Ford
Sterling the star. There are some
