"LIGHTNIN" OPENS
MONDAY At ENGLISH'S.

When Bessie Bacon was the 4-yearold
prodigy of the theatrical world, making
Jumps by stage with her father, Frank
Bacon, in his transforming days in the
= far West, she rememb ers meeting her old
great-uncle, Maurice, out in California. 1t
was he who gave Miss Bacon's talented
father his first inspiration to write
"Lightnin," the three season comedy
success which comes to English's next
week. Miss Bacon is a member Of the
cast.
For more than eight years, according
to his daughters story, Frank Bacon had
been at work on "Lightnin," and while
he was playing in stop Thief, he
handed his manuscript TO Winchell
Smith, who became his collaboration Mr..
Smith, whom Miss Bacon ranks with Be
Iasco, staged the production which Pro
Queer John Golden is sending TO Indian
apolis with Milton Mobiles as "Lightnin.'
Fathers Uncle Maurice was just as
Mr.. Mobiles impersonates him in our
company" said Miss Bacon. I'm fact,
believe Mr. Mobiles met Uncle Maurice
sometime, for he and father were stage
partners more than twenty years ago.
For two years, while father was playing
the leading role in New York, Mr.. Col
den combed the theatrical world for an
other 'Lightnin,' and now we have him
As she recalls him family and heard
her parents tell of her Uncle Maurice, he
was the same quaint character depicted
in "Lightnin." The alert-tongued, witty,
genial old man never wandered far with
out his flask. He came originally from
the South, but his whereabouts were IN
known to his relatives for months at
time. Suddenly he would pop up in Cal
to - In
Bacons. His dog always Travelled with
him and ne was a great favorite with the
children, who loved to listen to his tall
tales of the Indians and the Wild West.
Miss Bacon's theatrical career dates
back to the day when she was a child,
travelling through the West with her
parents. Her mother, who was Jane
Weidman, retired from the stage several
years ago. Frank Bacon is now writing
a book to be called Transforming Days
Through California, New Mexico and
Arizona" and Miss Bacon says the story
Of her tarly stage career will be told in
that.
