It: seems that Nazimova Is the one logl - cal actress who should have the role of' Joline There is nothing placid about either the star or the character, they are both intense, dynamic beings, Joline is a 'daughter of joy' a popu lar model in the LatinJ quarter of Paris.

Joliife pampered and spoiled with a temperamental, impetuous outburst of indignation and jenlousy, refuses to nllow any other odel to replace her.
