A motion picture promoter believed that

would enjoy-if they would only forget
that once had been bad girl, the victim
of cruel men,"
A theatrical manager then thought Il
would be stroke OF good policy to send
Mrs. Thaw out over the country In play.
Evelyn studied hard to learn the part.
Those familiar with the stage who saw
her rehearsals in New York declared that
she had become an accomplished actress.
But she met only tragedy. Now It was
ten years after the Thaw-white scandal,

Father Alexander w. Chapota, said from
his pulpit the Sunday before the opening
of the play in his city:

-and issued proclamation calling upon all
good people to refrain from attending the
theatre at which she was to appear. In
Richmond. Va, Mayor Ainslee issued an
order forbidding her to appear on the
stage OF that city when she arrived there
with the play Marietta" The Mayor said:
"Mrs Thaw's appearance would be an out
rage to the sense Of public decency."
Evelyn deied the Mayor and went through
her part at the Monday matinee. She was
promptly arrested, charged with "unlaw.
