Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 February 1911 — The Plot of “Forget-Me-Not” One of Deep Heart Interest, [ARTICLE]

The Plot of “Forget-Me-Not” One of Deep Heart Interest,

Article 148, Code Napoleon: “When a man under twenty-two contracts a marriage with a woman under eighteen without the consent of the parents, such contract shall be null and void unless consent of the parents shall be obtained within six months of the consummation of said marriage.” Such a marriage did take place and the mother of the young man, his only living parent, withheld her consent to force the parents of the girl to introduce her into society. This they could not do, owing- to the woman’s questionable past and present notoriety. A friend of the family champions their cause and frustrates the woman with the help of a Corsican whom she had caused to be sent to the galley. Such is the plot of “Forget-Me-Not,” which the stock company will produce at Ellis theatre on next Friday, Feb. 6th. But it must be seen to properly appreciate the beauties of construction picturesque language, intensity of plot, the beautiful gowns and settings. It is the beginning of a list of plays which will be unusuai to a city of this size. Now that the company has found out the kind of plays their patrons on the circuit want they have contracted for them. The list is high class and attractive, including “The Little Minister,” “DuBhrry,” “Amy of the Circus,” “Jim, the Penman,” “Thelma,” “Thorns and Orange Blossoms,” “Rip Van Winkle,” “Dora Thorne,” “Don Caesar de Bazan,” “Moths,” etc.
