...Carlisle and Einar Linden an excellent opportunity to display a great deal of spontaneous art. Miss Carlisle is worth going to, merely to hear her voice, which is a great relief from the variety of speaking that greets the "tired student" from the runway.

Seldom has Boston seen a more charming ingenue than Florence Shirley, as the Flapper.
