edy which will bo seen at tho Keith

will enjoy many minutes of tense heart
interest. In fact "Wildfire" possesses
all the elements calculated to please
all tempornments. "Her crowning
success" is the general tribute to Paul

tho most perfectly proportioned women
on the stage, and her first appearance
at a performance invariably brines
forth a flutter of excited "Isn't she
