AUGUSTUS THOMAS HERE
THE WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHT
WILL SPEAK TOMORROW.
He Gives the Real story of How He
Came to Write the Play,
"Alabama."

Augustus Thomas the well-known play
wright, the author of Alabama "Ari-
zona" and other famous plays. was the
most notable arrival from New York last
night to attend the convention of the Dem
ocratic Clubs to-day and tomorrow. Mr..
Thomas is on the programme for brief
address tomorrow afternoon. A charac-
teristic remark was made by him last night
Immediately after his arrival at the Grand
Hotel Handing his overcoat to a bellboy
he said, Take my coat up to my room,
boy, and don't step on IT unless you have
to. and If you find 1t necessary to step on
il, step hard"
Mr.. Thomas cheerfully accorded an in
terview, though he admitted he was tired
after his long journey. He was asked to
relate the true story of the peculiar way In
which he happened to write Alabama"
THAT happened so long ago-eleven
years-that II has rather an unreal quality

had a distinctly unreal quality at that
time. L have always been so constituted

about four weeks In that back room at the
