Blonde, beautiful and balmy - that's Dulcy, the adorable dumb-belle whose misadventures have amused millions of theatre- goers. One of the most popular characters created by the famous American playwrights, George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, Dulcy is soon to be seen on the screen in Hongkong in the picture of the same name. Dulcy mixes millionaires and maniacs, ruins the sale of an invention and breaks up three romances (including her own). Start reading about her misadventures below.

DULCY had just been direct- ed to where she might find the Forbeses when her attention was attracted by a cute little Chinese child in custody of a wor- ried steamship attendant.
