Of a Chinese mother and an English
father, and as Blanche, her English
half sister. The double role gives
the star great opportunity for her un-
usual power Of character delinea-
tion
The play tells the dramatic story
Of the daughter of two races-a girl
who, though born in a coffin shop in
the slums of Pekin, is educated
among the European surroundings
and ideals Of the Christian Mission,
where she adopts the faith of her ia
ther.
How she feels the perpetual con-
flict of her mixed blood-the seeth-
ing passions and desires of both races
which are forever at war in her soul
lis dramatically shown by this un-
usual actress. She imbues the char
acter with all her inscrutable mystery
and passionate fire Of the glowing
East and at the same time conveys
to the beholders the vast racial gulf
which separates the two girls, who
though they possess the same father,
are ~ remote as the poles.
How Jealousy leads her to forsake
the people Of her fathers race--cast-
ing aside their religion and beliefs.
