Lewis has good part in it, not only good
viewed from dramatic point, but the part
Of a good woman, and that is what the
hosts Of Miss Lewis friends and the pub
lie in general have been wanting to see
Miss Lillian Lewis play. There is a ring
of truth in Goodbye, Sweetheart" and
homely sentiment, and a generousness,

play Miss Lillian Lewis has so far pro-
duced. 1t is the best and biggest produc-

Goodbye, Sweetheart, - and every bodyis
glad of it, because Lillian Lewis is one of
the women who deserves all the good
things of life.
