Miss Mollie Dewson, holding a
small court Of their own, and
the conversation going around

the evening and we practically
leaped over the floor to say
howdy do to him. The first
thine Barry asked (and heavens,
what a memory was, did you
read that book / told you to
:ead?"
OF course we hadn't, we had
forgotten the title and author
and it was two years ago that
he told us about the book.
Rather timidly we asked him
the author Of the book, hoping
to remember the title. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald gave US one look,
George Bernard Shaw" he in
formed us, and added, "but Of
course you never heard Of him" "
And--We still like him!

stage as on and everybody at
the reception insisted upon
meeting her. When a pho
tographer wished to take a
group picture of the feminine
members Of the cast, and

"Susie" is not thin, but she is a
fascinating darling.
