Her name was Dorothy Devore,
I'd never heard of her before.
This gifted physical comedienne
Did two-reel work that raised the bar,
she was a WAMPAS Baby Star
of '23, though hardly its doyenne.
When some let others take the brunt,
she never shrunk back from a stunt
(as befit a darling of Al Christie).
Box-office leader in her day;
though dulled with time, I hear her say:
"I was the female Lloyd! How did you miss me?"
