entirely different from any she has yet essayed. It is natural to see her as the spoiled darling surrounded with luxuries and the good things of life. In 'The Anna teur Wife she is cast as a little con- vent girl, who knows nothing of the world, and whose ideas of living do not fit her for the shocks that await her when she comes to America to join her mother
 She leaves the convent with a complete wardrobe but it dated back to the days of long ago. Unperturbed by her lack of resemblance to those she sees on every hand. the girl starts for America On the way she meets man who is kind to her, and in his exuberance he kisses her. TO her that means but one thing, matrimony. So ayhen she meets her mother and IS shocked at the fact that she is an actress, the man marries the little girl
 Then he goes away on a long walking tour. While he is gone the convent girl looks around and observes the world. Soon she is following the modern trend and her husband returns to find that she is no longer the quaint old-fashioned girl he had left, but a brilliant young woman. In dramatic climax they are re- united.
