In the headline position, Edna Goodrich scored in "The Mannequin" principally because Edgar Allan Woolf supplied her with a playlet which calls for her to wear a wonderful collection of gowns. Miss Goodrich can wear clothes and is a striking picture in all her costumes. She has happily supplied herself with a corking good actor as her leading man and what honors there were in the acting line surely belonged to France Bendsten. The other members of the company in support took nothing from the artistic handling of the role entrusted to Mr. Bendsten and "The Mannequin" may be classed as a fashion-show success for Miss Goodrich, and a very good comedy hit for her principal aid. It will likewise prove a big drawing card, for Miss Goodrich is still a stage beauty to be admired by the men and gasped at by envious women.
