- Kalich's tigerish star role In
"The Riddle Woman" at the Har-
ris Theatre, has a histrionic past
which for richness and variety
OF experience is not only quite in
commensurate with her years but
wholly at variance with the ineffable
spirit of innocence which she sue
ceeds in projecting across the foot
lights.
Although not quite nineteen years
old Miss Allen has TO her credit en-
actly thirty-eight roles-most OF them
in the drama, a few on the screen
but each presenting some interesting
phase of childhood or young girlhood
Nice little boys and girls OF every de-
scription has been her artistic lot.
Good girls, incorrigible girls. rich girls,
poor girls. girls prim, girls prudish'
girls downright "tough"-all have In
turn been interpreted by this young
woman OF the wide gray eyes and the
long black braids whose scenes with
Kalich are among the high lights OF

Camilla-Oh, does 1t make you feel

she did for my brother.
Camilla-And did 1t cure him?
