Judge Cohalan told International
News Service he would demand
damages of $1,750,00O from o'Neil,
the playwright's publishers. Horace
Liveright, Inc, and his producers,
the Theater Guild, Inc, in behalf
of his client. Miss Georges Lewys,
writer OF classical poetry and
dramatic fiction.
Miss Lewys. Cohalan asserts, al
leges that Strange Interlude" Is, in
reality. her story. "The Temple Of
Pallas.Athenae," which she pub
lished in May 10, 1924, and copy
righted July 10, 1924. The book
which was written when she was
only 10 was limited to only ssS
copies and was purchased chiefly by
authors and professional readers at
a price Of $40 a copy.
In addition to seeking damages,
Miss Lewys, Cohalan said, will ask
for an injunction restraining the
three defendants from continuing to
capitalize Strange 1nter1ude."
The novel feature of the O'Neill
play, in which the actors speak
aloud their thoughts, is the dis
tinctive feature of her own book.
Miss Lewys alleges. Moreover. the
play contains many of the lines of
the book and identical characters,
she alleges.
