"Dangerous,** which has been hailed as & masterpiece wherever it has been produced, is sheer, stark drama, featuring both the glamor and the shadows of Broad- way life. It is the story of the mast brilliant actress of her day. who was loved by many, but who career and loved only her own who sacrificed everything and everybody to her ambitions...

CHARACTER, NOT MONEY

"It is not a question of how much money she can earn," he said. "After all, in 18 months she would not be able to show very mach proft after the expenses of touring and the matron had been paid. It is a matter of character.

"I am going to suggest that the reason for these monetary offers is unwelcome publicity, She has acquired a certain 'box office at traction in this district and this district only. The committee are of the opinion that her appeal is only ephemeral, and, that her DOX ofce value would not last for anything like 18 months, and at the end of that time she would be back again in the position.of an unsuccessful artiste. It is most important that she should have good surroundings instead of "the gay, easy life of the theatre with its easy-tome-easy-go_money.”

He added that the girl had no real talent.

At this Mr. Lambert protested, saying that the committee must never have seen the girl on the stage and it was also obvious that Mr. Barrow knew nothing about the girl or about the stage to make a statement like that.

Mr. Proctor said that at Bristol the girl would be given domestic #training, but would not necessarily be placed in service when she left.

If she showed exceptional ability the committee could apply to the Home Ofice to be allowed to spend "more money on her training and

arrange for musical éducation
