TO DECORATE THEATER
FAMOUS ACTRESS WAS coURTE-
Gus TO KNIGHTS AT THEIR
CONVENTION AND THEY ARE
TRYING TO REPAY HER.

When Madame Modjeska appears at
the Gennett Monday night in Mac
BETH she will get reception such
as has never been accorded an actress
in Richmond before. The Knights of
Columbus will be responsible, pri-
marily for Modjeska's royal welcome.
Because she was so untiring in her
efforts to entertain the wives and Ia
lies of the Knights of Columbus at the
National convention of the order at
Los Angeles, her home, the local lodge
will make special effort to return the
courtesy. Already the Knights have
engaged a large number of choice
seats on the first floor, for the peer
Torrance and the matter of decorating
the theater in the X. of c. colors is
being considered. a beautiful floral
offering will also be given the fam
Gus actress.
Many lodges over the country have
taken the same pains to give Modjeska
a cordial reception when she appeared
in their cities, as the local order is
doing Atty William Kelley, who at
tended the last national convention of
the knights, said last evening that all
who had been to Los Angeles felt eS-
pecially kindly toward ModjeSka as
no one could have done more toward
making their visit to Los Angeles
more pleasant than she.
Modjeska has been unable to take
part in recent performances on ac-
count of a sprained ankle and Mana
ger Swisher, desiring to know if she
would appear here in person, tele-
graphed her manager yesterday. He
received this reply:
Lexington, Ky.

play your house Monday night. Will
arrive Sunday noon.
