Miss Clara Morris is to be sued, probably
Tomorrow. IN the United States District Court,
by w. Irving Bishop. The claim Is that by play
ing Camille" " she has infringed upon a copy
right obtained in 1859 by Miss Matilda Heron.
In that wear Miss Heron witnessed the produo-
ton: In Paris Of Dumas's play, La Dame aux
CamelIas," md translated 1t, giving It the title
"Camille." Upon returning to America, she
copyrighted the translation. and subsequently
acted the principal character for many years.
In 1873 she gave Miss Morris permission to play
in 1t TOR one week in the Union Square Theatre,
and soon afterwsrd sold her interest to Mr.,
bishop. Since then Miss Morris has continued
TO appear In the piece, and has refused TO pay
for consent by hin.
Upon the result OF this suit depends extensive
litigation. The copvr'ehting of "A compost tion
