The leading lady was Mrs. Jean Kernodle, formerly secre tary in the student activities of fice during the daylight hours who was playing the part of Olivia in the Terrence Rattigan play about the loves and prob- . lems of a cabinet minister apd his mistress. On Broadway, of bourse, an un derstudy would blitnely leap into place, mouth her lines l faultlessly. and a netv star would probably be born.
