At any rate tho play has been accepted and the cast Is now being assembled for production." When mm considers Mrs. I.add's suc cess ns a sculptor and listens to her vhld expressiveness In conversation It Is not dilllcult to understand how she can write so successfully. A stiperlluous word would se. m to her like a dlstlgiir Ing lump of clay on the perfect outlines of a modelled ilgiire. nml one can easily undi rst.ind how her artistic soul would revolt at tho blemish The Hack Ilay district of Husion already has discovered many originals in "The t'andal Adventurer" -nut to mention a description of the assembly held last winter In the new t'oplev I'lawi Hotel.
