pealing girlish touch Of the human
nature that makes an audience akin,
made her appearance at the New Ma
tional last night as Tillie. stage
adaptation Of Helen r. Martins novel
of that name.
1t Is a simple play. in which the
suppressed youth of a girl must prac-
tice gingham apron virtues while the
heart Of her travels the way of rain
bows. Outwardly timid little body,
Shaving in her Aunty Ems boarding
house. with a miserly father ever
waiting to pounce down on her earn
ings; with snippy. jealous little
cousin WeeZey to make two trou-
bles where one grew before, and with
a self-appointed fiance of the attrac-
tions that go with such a name as
Absalom Puntz, and, above all, the
uncompromising gloom of a head
gear which demands that romance be
as stiff and straight as its own tie
strings, poor Tillie, without in the
least knowing 1t, is a watcher in the
tower of love-and happily finds it in
a school teacher who comes to
board with Aunty Em-after compli-
cations which take four acts i'll the

realistically conveyed by a cast head

romance could ask for and Mildred

For Patricia coliinse herself moth

since youth. a wiusome personality
and an assuring ability make Of her
an ideal heroine. whether as the
gladstone PolIyanna. who has already
, carried her cheerful philosophy into
the hearts of playgoers of the coun-
try, or as the demure little Mennonite
maid. who is just starting on the road
to what Is known as fame.

ness and weakness Of Ferris develops
in time, however, to avert the tragedy
and Dolores upon better acquaintance
finds her grandma has chosen wisely
