THE YELLOW TICKET"
AN HISTORICAL PLAY

This play was written by a woman
Mrs. c. NJ. A. Wiiamson) in the in
terest Of women. The story is true
in every respect; in fact, so true that
when it was first produced four years
ago the Russian ambassador to the
United States requested the Presi-
dent to restrain the theatrical produc-
ers from presenting this play. It was
baned in England, Italy and all for
eign countries that favored autocratic
government.
The United States being free
country where right Of speech is de-
MED none, especially when it exposes
and has a tendency to reform horrible
conditions that have been proven to
exist, refused to acceed to the ambas-
sador's wishes, so this great play was
duly presented.
Its strong appeal to women caused
u tOuliiiibIc W Dt Sciit over W NuSSld
to ascertain if the custom of the yell
low ticket still existed. Mrs. William
son was among the many prominent
women who made the journey. Being
writer of fame she was selected to
compile all data gathered and while
doing this she stumbled on to the case
of Anna Minel.
All persons concerned in the play
are real characters drawn from those
connected with Anna Minel, with the
exception of the American reporter,
Mr.. Julian Rolfe, who was instrument
tai in having Miss Minel set free. He
afterwards married her, so to make
an appealing as well as a romantic
story, Mrs. Williamson enlarged upon
the character and made it the theme
Of the story.
1t is a pleasure to note that since
the present revolution and abdication
of Gar Nichols the "O'Krana" and
the Yellow Ticket have been discarded
for more humane methods and a new
free people shall rise under form of
government that has made US an en-
We'd nation-a government of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people.
We cannot help but feel that the
story of the Yellow Ticket had its eff
feet in helping to eradicate the hor-
rible condition that existed in the
country that boosted of the greatest
secret police system in the world.
This is a modern play written in a
modern way and feel sure it will APP
peal to the young and the old.--The
Author.
