what she outranked all feminine con-
temporaries and became easily the
leading coincidence of the American
stage. About three years ago she
went into motion pictures as a screen
star, and had no trouble in immedia
city enhancing her reputation and
adding new laurels by her splendid
talents. delectable beauty and rare
personality.
In "Cornered,' written by the way,
by the actor-author, Dodson Mitchell,
Miss Kennedy found the vehicle she
searched for all the time she was
appearing in the field of the camera.
In it she plays dual role, shabby
shop girl, who associates with crooks,
and refined young heiress. To each
character she is said to bring his
tronic talents of a high degree, and
her work in each was generously &C
claimed by critics and theatre goels
alike during the run of the play on
