in which Miss Windsor has many
chances to prove that she IS an emo
tional actress of uncommon skill.
Little Richard Headrick, the al
most uper-naturally gifted child
actor whose success in 1.-THE Child
Thou Gavest Me-" and other pro-
auctions are so familiar, Will further
ordcar himself to all who see "Rich

work he contributes to the picture.
In selecting the cast of "Rich
