124 Pauline Frederick the Curran Theatre on July 22, 1924, the San Francisco Examiner said: " The first glimpse of her at the opening of the play occasioned a prolonged demonstration. Most of the people in that vast audience knew her best as a motion picture actress. As her natural self on the stage she is even more beautiful than on the screen. Her voice carries an unforgettable charm and her costumes were exquisite. At the end of the performance the applause was loud and long." It was not only the warm welcome that she received in San Francisco which made " Spring Cleaning " memorable in her career. It was the wide field which now opened up to her, for in the following years she went to Australia and London and there was accorded a reception that was beyond anything she could have imagined.
