She listens to her mother, eats her spinach and doesn't hit little boys and girls. But unfortunately, unfor-tunately, or fortunately, she has a peculiar knack of portraying nasty little girls so vividly on the screen, producers have continued to cast her in brat roles every time one turns up. In "Beloved Brat," which comes to the Ritz theatre next Friday, she goes to town as a bad girl. She sasses her mother, and is partially 'responsible for killing a man. She's really bad!
