Her midnight visits to a famous artist and the unexpected denouncement when the family confront her is a story that the author has written with a master hand. A new leading lady in Aliss Doris Duane is to he introduced to Foxton audience. Aliss Duane is a young actress of the modern school who has had a rapid rise to the stella rank. She played with brilliant success in the original New York produel ion and for a period tilled the leading role.
