Dorothy Dalton, star of s'The
Flame of the Yukon" will ap-
pear in the role of Neva Blaine
in "Ten of Diamonds" the latest
Triangle play, which will be
shown at the Nogales Theatre
Monday Dec. 10.
The story is designed to show
how a woman's life is moulded
by a man or men, each having
his part in shaping or directing
the resulting personality.
Neva Blaine, a cabaret girl
in a cheap and foul cafe in a
great city, is selected for the
example of masculine directivity.
AT the price of every youthful
and womanly hope, she has re-
tanned her virtue. Her coldness,
feynicism, hate and disillusion-
ment form a background for her
frantic efforts to help young
girls who enter the cafe with
men who prey. Between her
songs at the cabaret, she habit
ually tells her fortune with
playing cards.
Into her life at it's greatest
influence came Warren Bennedy,
wealthy society man. He was
to have been married to Blanche
Galloway, a silly social butter
fly, when his enemy Ellis Hop

Galloway to wed his son, leaving
