...personages in a plot that remains traceable throughout the play--a beautiful society maiden (she actually is beautiful) who wants to be a star; her sus- ceptible and perfectly-dressed papa; her amiably aimless admirer; a furtive and ominous villian; a mercenary manager; a dejected dinge; and various actors and would-be actors.
