You Should See This Play.

A notable production of the 1.-TWO

Lovedav Opera House next Monday
evening, May 3rd. when the Fred G.
Conrad Company will be seen IN the

made, and an especial search was car
ried on for actors OF ability who had
had experience in the 1.-TWO Orphans, -
so as to insure the best possible per-

the authorized Kate CIaxton version
of the play, which Manager Conrad

Mich. State Prison, Jackson,
April 2S, 1909
Dear Sir:
We men in this prison have reached
the conclusion, which many OF us
should have reached long ago, that we
must work out our own salvation, and
with that end ia view. we have form
ed company which we call 1.-THE
League for Self-Improvement," the
object being just what the name in
dlcates.
Surely, there is some way by which
we, who have made mistakes and
failures, who have fallen out Of the
fight, eau win our way back; and that
way we are trying TO find. There is
something better for the State. than
the loss of time and money which pri-
soqSife entails; something better for
us chan the ruin and degradation of
the environment amidst which we
live. Slowly, perSistently, surely we
are cropping our way TO a better un-
derstanding OF the part we may play
ia the battle of life-the part in
which you may help US.
We have not solved the problem
bu1 1--WE are trying to find some way
out OF present conditions. some way
VII ch shall not only be better for us,
but better for those dependent upon
us, better' for the State at large, bet
ter above all, for those about us who
have made mistakes as we have, and
: for those who will make mistakes la
years TO come.
In our endeayors we will need your
good word, some day. Will you wish
us Oiod speed" in our efforts?
Very respectfully,
