Valeska Suratt

Location:
Theater:
Date:
29 min. “The Purple Poppy.” Having established herself here in musical comedy and travesty, this well known artiste was really a surprise in this comedy drama by Paul M. Potter. It is a strong story with many tense moments and Miss Suratt did splendidly in all the lines and business. A big dramatic climax held the audience spellbound and the final curtain brought big applause. Miss Suratt wore some wonderful clothes.
