the stage until the final curtain brings
an end to the offering.
Stone and King advertise that they

Last week "The Willow Tree," "The

"The Brat" she showed better Judg

The story. In brief, tells of a chorus
girl, down on her luck, who ls picked
up by a popular novelist and Installed
in his home with the consent of his
mother and family. He studies her as
a "type." and she leads them all a
merry dance. The dialogue is amus-
