Few actresses who have risen to a
position of prominence on the
stage have had a more interesting
career or assumed wider variety of
roles than Janet Beecher, who is now
featured in OLIVIA Bows to Mrs
Grundy," the new Roland Bottomley
comedy.
Not only has Miss Beecher estab-
lished herself as a comedienne, but as
an emotional actress and even her
brief entrance into the field of comic
opera was marked by the success that
has characterized her every effort.
Miss Beecher is a native of Chicago

decided upon stage career and made
her debut in The Two Orphans"
when 1t was revived with an all-star
cast.
Later the same season Miss Beecher
became a member of Mrs. Patrick
Campbells company in The Sor-
