Kathleen's Anchor
At first there seemed to be much difficulty about her getting a suitable story.
"No one wants to take too many chances on a new star," she said, "but still we felt that we had to have a good story — and good stories come high.

There is about her an air of capability that you would notice the instant you met her. .She is five feet eight inches tall, graceful, well-groomed.
