Elizabeth Patter- son—also excels as the harassed mother — with >. plenty of common sense and hamoar.

Hedda Hopper — the smart, sophisticated mother, allowing herself and her children much freedom. Alice Brady — one of those who are as good in dramatic as in comedy roles, frivolity being her strong point in the latter. <s> Dorothy Peter- son, a youthful and intelligent middle-class matron usually, with just the right dash of humour. Billie Burke. She. too. excels as the feather-brained society matron, but there is never a suggestion of mali- ciousness in her portrayals.
