She seems a smart business woman, and she would probably get on very well if it were not for her friends and relations. SHE SEEMS A SMART BUSINESS WOMAN AND SHE WOULD PROBABLY GET ON VERY WELL IF IT WERE NOT FOR HER FRIENDS AND RELATIONS
comedy stage lawyer. Legal transactions are trying to the nerves under the most favorable circumstances; conducted by a farcical stage lawyer, the business would be too exciting for us. THE ADVENTURESS. She sits on a table and smokes a cigarette. A cigarette on the stage is always the badge of infamy. In real life the cigarette is usually the hall-mark of the particularly mild and harmless individual. It is the dissipation of the Y.M.C.A.; the innocent joy of the pure-hearted boy long ere the demoralizing influence of our vaunted civilization has dragged him down into the depths of the short clay. But behind the cigarette on the stage lurks ever black-hearted villainy and abandoned womanhood. The adventuress is generally of foreign extraction. They do not make bad women in England--the article is entirely of continental manufacture and has to be imported. She speaks English with a charming little French accent, and she makes up for this by speaking French with a good sound English one.
