ate the. title part and ha« to «peakthese lines, follow« them with anepigram of her own In which »he ex-cajma "there must be a less terrify¡??way of becoming; a »tar than by being·a vamp." Kor. be It known thatthroughout Miss Joel's entire thentrl-cal career, she has been refusing, an¬nual proffers of parts known aa' "vam¬pires" in both play« and picture« andfor the «imple reason that one of hermost important "dent's*' is never playa vamp.She got her flrtt bla; chance ln th·
theater when «he wa« eallesl upon, ins
two hours' notice, to play the role ofMary Turner In "Within the Law," avtthe Kit Inste Theater. New York, ue-cause Jane Cowl waa III.

Then siheplayed the principal feminine role in"Kick In." with Richard Bennett, andthe next season found her In the prin¬cipal role of "The Eternal Magda¬lene." The next two year» Miss Joelwas ro-etarred with the late JohnMason in "Common i'lay." and thenshe succumbed. Last s«a»on she wasknown as tbe only vampire In the·world who did not want to vsrap «hen.she created that role In "Buain«r»*iBefore Ploasur« .*' Now Mis« Joel Isto realise her ambition, for «he i» tocreate a reaj comedy role in Mr. fto»-enfetd's lai est onus, "Letts Arrive«."
