every citizen Of the Southern States is
earnestly asked TO give sympathy and
support,
It is designed that the monument shall
speak for each State OF the Confederacy,
OF its sacred love and reverence for the
dead the name Of each State craven on
the stones forming the majestic column
upon which will stand the stalwart figIre

placed the sacred relics OF the glorious

| from an artistic standpoint, the engage
ment In Boston was complete success.
Miss Lewis read the novel Thercse
Racouin. which is by lola, and decided
| that she had found a role that suited her
| far better than anything she had previous
| ly played. She realized that, In her own
words, she had found the role Of her life.
and that she could make a complete
success OF IL.
In the meanwhile page advertisements
I'm all Of the dramatic papers announced
that Mr.. John Stetson was sole owner Of
the drama "'rherese Racquin. and that
any one producing same would be dealt
with accordingly, etc.
Miss Lewis could not understand
how Mr.. Stetson owned the en-
tire rights to the play, when the
book could be purchased at any DOCK
stand and with that idea hrIniy I'M
pressed on her mind she and Mr.. "hite-
car, the leading man of her company,
began a translation and adaptation OF
"Therese Racquin." They WORKED as
siduously on their Iaborious as wen as
scholarly task, and I'm less than a week
the parts had been written out and the
company was rehearsing.
They are now working hard, ana by
next Saturday evening the theatre-GoerS
OF Louisville will see the production.
When | asked Miss Lewis il she thought
DIR. Stetson would bring her before court
for infringing on his alleged rights she
stated that she did not think he would.
She considered that she had as much
right to dramatic the book and produce
the play as did he.
"Therese Racquin." as play as well as
a novel, is terribly realistic, depending
upon nothing save the acting or the
characters to bring out the creations
of Zolas mind. In the play every act
takes place in an attic, and all OF the
characters are poor people. Miss Lewis
will thus appear in one play without her
costumes.
The play reflects as with a mirror the
life Of people one realizes must live In
this world, and their passions, their sor-
rows, griefs and happiness are dealt with
In such a mastery manner that, though
revealing to those who like best the bright
side of life, give one a glimpse into hu-
man nature and human life. lola has
made the latter "A great study, and MISS
Lewis is well qualified to present such
4 real, tangible drama as 'Therese !
Racquin."
