In "The Case of Lady Camber" it is diMcult to distribute acting honors. For her part, Mary Boland made the most of Lady Camber by realizing the frank vulgarity of her role. Aside from this, Miss Boland flared into dramatic passion when she turned on her nurse, Power was felt in the per formance of an actress who lends herself readily to “character parts.
