Miss White did not act as If she thought it would. Khe seemed content with her lot as a vivacious and versatile entertainer, without emphasizing claim to primacy ln any phase of the considerable variety she offers audiences. Her audience seemed content, too, especially with hr agreeable personality. There Is nothing up-tho-stogo about her.

Five years later she weds "I,nfe" Regan, a successful business man from tho West, with Frank a guest ln their home. There are many Ingenious twists to the story throughout, with smiles and tears, and a real tragedy before tho final curtain. Miss Desmond effectively plajs Mar Jorle Rambeau's part of Ann Hunniwell.
