With the constant search for

varying them. Such is the case

idea is here treated in a decidedly

daring course which finally causes

Kind OF a Girl I Mean" Peggy

and form the most pleasing quartet
he has ever had. The play Is a ro-

scenes are laid In Ireland during
the last century. O'Hara appears

proud House Of that name. Ptqued
