are given an opportunity to see a
pretty dialect comedy. It is a de
lightful folk-story dramatized from
Barrie's work by that name. The
versatility of Miss Harper, whose in

to mark them as her masterpieces,
was clearly evidenced. As Lady

querading as a gypsy, she lived the
character she portrayed and was re-
