STAGE LIFE

Agnes (Darling Daughter) Doyle Hopes to Play Three Continents.

In “Yes, My Darling Daughter,” Agnes Doyle plays the modern and courageous daughter of Florence Reed. In real life, Miss Doyle displays a similar 20th Century independence. For this theatrical youngster came all the way from Australia without even a letter of introduction, and in two years has carved herself a place in the American theater, Miss Dyole and Miss Reed will be seen at English’s when “Yes, My Darling Daughter” arrives Oct 21. The part will mark Miss Doyle's second job for Alfred de Liagre, the play's producer. For she arrived from Australia about the time that Mr. de Liagre was casting “Fresh Fields,” and he gave her a part for her American debut. This “darling daughter” had appeared in “Fresh Fields” back in Australia and, by some trick of fate, arrived just when Mr. de Liagre was

looking around for an ingenue for the New York company. And that's why Miss Doyle didn’t get to London as she planned. New York was supposed to be a stop-over, Now the trip may be delayed fure ther, for the “darling daughter” ex pects to reach California in the spring. And Hollywood film scouts already have their eyes on Miss Doyle. The movie people wanted her while she was playing in “Fresh Fields.” But the young actress was determined to appear on the stage of three continents. Now it remains to be seen whether she can hold to her resolve against the blandishments of Hollywood's salaries and California’s sunshine.
