As a matter OF fact. she had played

she'd just played children parts. AS
for the rest of her objections. Mr..
Banning soon settled them.
Crystal is a star now. and must

for this scene--well. this is a story

She turned away then: she knew
that she was beaten for the time

There was another big scene
