Stepping from her accustomed
roles as a lady of wrecked ro-

bubbles as the Capitals social
leader and granddaughter Of a
President of the United States
who, woman-like, dabbles per-
haps too much, into the nations
politics. Her schemes and ma
neuvers not only to hold, but to
strengthen her position against
her rival are nothing short of
amazing. Her "catty'' remarks
literally bring down the house
with roars Of laughter. Miss
Francis delivers a fine and fin
ished performance.
Verree Teasdale, in the role
Of the woman who desires that
"first lady'S" position, gives her
best performance to date. She
doesn't miss bet. And in many
a scene with Miss Francis it's a
