For the first time in the his

Ina Claire is invading the
two-a-day for the immediate

a theatrical notable than George
NJ. Cohan.
This latter fact is due, report

of long standing, dating from
the day, several years since,
when George NJ. picked the
Claire talent as the finest on
the American stage. He picked
her as number one in the list of
stars, describing as "the best

the footlights."
