works still live In the memory OF the
American playgoer, but in no other
play did he approximate human nature

Slave" The heroine. Lisa, Is white
girl of high parentage, but 1t Is in the
admirably created mystery surround
ing her birth and the complicating
circumstances which throw her into
slavery that the dramatist has won the
sympathy of the average playgoer.
There is a young love romance which
develops through many exciting and
pathetic scenes. The story is always
dramatic The characters are faith
fully drawn and several are prototypes
of famous men and women prominent
in southern life before and during the
civil war.

railroad president. who is anxious to have
his son attend Bingham College, which he
has endowed. The son, by peculiar com

destinations to make Billy matriculate at
Atwater. Needless to say, these fascina
