her fine acting in the part Mr.. Brady

any rate she has made advance in her
art, and through seasons in stock,
with road companies. and on Broad
way has redeemed the promise she
gave when she came to Omaha, an
untried girl, yet in her teens, but
full OF the eager enthusiasm of youth

place on the stage. TO her natural
equipment she now adds experience,
and a complete understanding OF what
is required of the woman who acts.
