Miss Lawrence
Has Plans fof a
kepertory Theater

In the days when many cities used
to consider a good stock company lust
ABOUT as necessary to ti1e life OF The
municipality AS city hall, a good bank
or chamber cf commerce it wasn't
such difficult matter for Young
actress or actor TO set good conncc-
tIon and with this Connection acquire
some sort Of theatrical training. The
stock company was good Fo- this train
'ng school buaincas, an,l II there was 4
repertoire company in rcacn that Wa
even better.
But nov, with repertoire .onpani.,
memory and stock ccmpanic. things
TO be Sound but rarely. t,,c young man or
Homan ~lslling to takc fling at tho
tneatcr is up against an entirely dir-
fcreNt situation. Some reach Hroad-
way III Tying lean without ever mas
! tcrns the rudimcn.s Of the profession.
Their number, honcver. is small. One
nobs up this season, one or two next
season and SO on The situation can
MOI tall to prove disturbing to those
giving it SERIOUS considerations.
One who has given it serious con.
siccrstlon is one not generally cx-
pccted to be seriously .rclinc,;-a
comcdicnne, Margaret Lawrence, now
appearing in the A. H. Woods produc-
tion Of Samuel Snipman's plav claw
fui Larceny" current at the Republic
Margaret Lawrence, in come6ienne's
serious moments and she insists that
all persons seeking to be comcdierucs
nave moro than their share Of serious
moments has given much thought TO
one OF the biggest problems Of the
American stage Of to-day.
Friends o. Miss Lawrence ,.sscrt that
'nc actress has not only given thought
to the situation in the theatcr as re-
CARDS the younger gene ration, but has
actually planned to do something about
IT, and to do it III her own way. This
comcdicnnc, they assert, is seeking to
establish theatcr in the city in which
Ieaolng players OF the stage would be
invited to appear, thcatcr with a
change of bill constantly brief, a
repertoire thcatcr.
Others have planned repertoirc thea
ters Tor New York; some have actually
tried it, with varying results. Miss
Aa"rence's thcater, it is pointed out,
would be different from all the others.
1t would be an institution that would
include school os acting. Aot in the
ordinary meaning of the term, but q
school at which lectures on acting and
actors and stage literature would 5e
gwen by distinguished players, with
young plsycrs-the younger generation
or actresses and actors-in attendance
at these lectures. The theatcr that
this actress is known to be considering
Is one that would also give virtual un-
knowns an opportunity to appear with
celebrated personages and in celebrated
plays.

GOV. RUSSELL SUED.
GIRL ASKS 100000
One Time Employee Lays In
validism to Mississippi
Executive.

JACKSON, Miss. Feb. 6.--A $1,000
damage suit alleging betrayal. filed by
Miss Frances Birkhead against Lee N.
Russell Governor of Mississippi. in the
United States District Court here to-day.
was declared by prominent officials to
presage one of the bitterest and most
sensational legal and political fights
in the history Of the State
Gov. Russell refused to discuss the
suit further than to declare IL ",rhe most
damnable blackmail conspiracy in the
history OF Mississippi Intimate friends
of the Governor, however. said II did not
come entirely as a surprise. rumors of
such an action having been more or less
common gossip in political circles.
In her bill of particulars. Miss Birk-
head asks $4,000 on each of two counts.
The first AYERS that she was persuaded
to yield to his will' and that as a
result Plaintiffs reputation and charac-
ter were ruined. and she was caused to
lose her employment. and her health
was ruined. to her great damage. in the
sum of $4,000"
In the second count, Miss Birkhead
alleges that she underwent an Illegal
operation "at the instigation of Gov.
Russell. which totally ruined and
wrecked her health, causing her to suf-
fer untold anguish and pain. and that
she Is now an invalid and must remain
so the rest OF her life
In sworn statement Miss Birkhead
charges that the alleged betrayal took
place in Russells private office in the
State House in July, 1918.
Miss Brkhead in this statement al
leges that soon after she accepted en-
ployment as stenographer In Russells
office his attitude became more than
friendly and that declarations of love
and promises of marriage quickly fol-
lowed the marriage to take place when
he could get divorce from his wife,
with whom, she states, Russell told her
he was not happy. Under these prom
ises she AYERS, she consented to clandes-
tine meetings and yielded to his will"
In October, 1918. Miss Birkhead's
statement declared, she grew fearful OF
becoming mother and besought the
aid and advice of Russell, who. accord
ing to her statement. suggested self
treatment and advised consultation of a
physician only IL 1t became Imperative.
She later visited physicians in Memphis
and New Orleans. she asserts.
when 1t became evident that Gov.
Russell was not going to furnish me the
necessary funds TO go to some hospltai,
the statement continued. "as suggested
by me, decided that / would of neces-
sity have to adopt his suggestions and
told him would consent to the opera
tion."
The operation. she alleges. was per-
formed at Memphis and was followed by
serious illness. A trip to Denver at Rus
sells expense followed, Miss Birkhead
declares, and efforts were made later
through his agents to effect a financial
settlement.

 YUMA, Ariz., June S.-A party of en- gineers will leave Yuma tomorrow for the northern section of the county to complete surveys preparatory to begin ming construction of about 200 miles of road in that section. Funds for the work have just become available.
 More than $1.OO0.O00 was placed on deposit in Yuma banks during the past two days by Los Angeles bond ing firm, which purchased the greater portion of the 1,250000 issue. A quar- ter of a million dollars already has been datched with federal aid and is to be used in building Yuma county's link in the Bankhead National High thway.
