her ability to learn roles on short no

assigned Miss Bolton ten days before
opening the present engagement. Some
critics suggested that her Interpretation
Of Betty Taradine resembled that OF
Miss Margaret AnSlin's.
II have never seen Miss Anglin in the

under the AT pices of the ladies of the

cess. The big sample room of the
