...point of super-nature; and they seem right for an ondine. Added to her acting skill is her delightful personal appearance which would make a fine model for all sprites, land, air or sca-borne. When she makes her third act entrance in several feet of fish net, some strategic sea weed and perhaps a trifling bathing suit, she is the most charming picture I've ever seen surrounded by a proscenium arch.
