4 Question Revived,

The assertion that Fitz James O'Brlen
was the author of ''Rosedale," which Les
ter WaIlack had claimed up to his death, is
susceptible of denial. Neither O'Brien nor
Wallack wrote it. The drama stands as a
proof OF shrewd plagiarism from dozen
various sources. The principal incidents
were borrowed from an old English novel,
Lady Lees WidOwhood," published i'm a
monthly magazine fifty years ago. The re-
