Broadway success story: Lois Wheeler is being implored by her folks in California to come home and forsake Broadway. Lois has been in only three plays… The first was “The Innocent Voyage.” In it she was seduced by the pirate crew… Her second was “Pickup Girl” which dealt with sin and “VD”… Now she is in “Trio,” playing a lesbian… Her family thinks it’s time for her to quit.
