the famous Nazimova appears, as the
special feature at the Liberty for the
first three days of this week.
The star was seen in q dual role
as Mahlee, the Eurasian girl, daugh-
ter of a Chinese mother and English
father and as Blanche, her English
|half-sister. The double role gave the
star great opportunity for her UNI
usual power of character d~elineation.
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 Pekins is educated
and ideals of the Christian Mission,
where she adopts the faith Of her
father.
