Miss Dawn Is he breathing embodiment of "Tha Pink .Lady." Plie would suggest the title if there never was a play by that name. Occasionally her name slipped Into print prior to the opening performance, nut most persons were of the Impression that she was of English birth. The spontaneous spon-taneous welcome accorded her when she faced her first New York audience waa not Jeopardised to any noticeable degree de-gree when It became known that ahe was an American girl, born and raised In the state of Utah and educated In Iondon.
