Marion has Interpreted a dual, role of the early seventies with auch fidelity that she has given us quite an inkling about grandma's life as a flapper.
The lovely Marlon flaps quite ardently and beautifully, even if she uses more antiquated methods than is the mode of to-day. She has aome of the 1871 style of shells doing flip-flops and landing ker plunk right at her feat.
She's demure and all that, but she exercises her wiles in an even deadlier manner than we do now.. and she has poor Conrad Nagel twlated about her little finger in a manner that would make it seem he were double-joined.
Yes mam, girls-put on your Spanish shawls and go to the. Theatre and see grandma la her paisley.
