Once or twice Billie Burke ambled on

that the joy-crushers would succeed.
She has left them far behind in her
shadows in the little story: But the
star is sunshine unto herself; sunshine
which starts with her roseate hair ana
goes all the way down TO her very
slipper tips.
The story is about a charming girl
who has absolutely her own way about
everything. Veteran actors, stern stage
