that she has lost none OF the charm
that has won for her the name of THE
Sweetest GIRLS In the Movies" The
play Is 4 wholesome comedy drama
which was famous as n stage success
several years ago.
The plot idea centers about three
girls who have been reared as boys
with Miss Clark as an adventurous
spirit who wandered into the world
trying to start something. She has
couple OF exciting adventures and she
bumps into cousin who falls In love
with her and. after many humorous
experiences, wins out
The play is full of laughs which Is
quiet typical of any production in
which Miss Clark takes a lead. AS
an adorable boy the little actress
brings her audience right into the play
with her.
Miss Clark herself is worthy of spe-
fial notice because she stands out
distinctly among the players on the
moving picture world. Unlike most of
the film stars she can boast Of no an
