"The Purple Poppy."
The business is credited to Valeska Suratt in "The Purple Poppy," headlining. The star's surprising dramatic qualities combined with a good cast in an excellent sketch and strong ending, resulted in the act going big and warranting the call for a speech which closed by Miss Suratt thanking the gallery for its good behavior, which made a hit.
