B—4 VIRGINIA CONVICT CAMP PROBE ASKED Prisoners Make Affidavits AWeging Whipping for Minor Offenses. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va, June 6.—A petition signed by a number of Norfolk resi- dents asking for an investigation into condifions existing at the State corfvicd| road camp in Goochland County was sent Gov. Pollard at Richmond tonight. Accompanying the petition, prepared by A. C. Philpotts, local attorney, were afdavits signed by D. R. Byrd and ©. C. Rateliff, both of Norfolk, former prisoners at the camp, who told of the practice of “hanging up” and whipping | for minor offenses against routine. The affidavits described prisoners as being strung up in an agonizing posi- tion and left until handcuffs cut into their wrists, and told of beatings ad- ministered to men stretched over a bar- rel and struck with a leather strap un- til they were nearly unconscious. Maj. Rice M. Youell, superintendent of the Virginia State Penitentiary, said in Richmond that he had received no complaint of ill treatment of prisoners at the Goochland camp. C. T. Smith, the foreman in charge, has been there for a number of years, Maj. Youell said, and there has been no evidence that his ministration has been improper. Corporal punishment of _prisoners, which would include whipping with a leather strap, is permitted under ths State law, Maj. Youell said, but only when his approval is obtained. GEORGE E.

D. C, JUNE 17, 1931—PART OXE. England Honors Her Memory TRIBUTE WILL BE PAID MRS. SIDDONS. By JAMES WALDO FAWCETT N the history of the British stage there is ame fundity tial nobility of her character. In spite of constantly chn:s:n‘ewdmmlm the lession which she adorned, it is ummu.-umuu-mu de- | century since she died. Her career in this world closed on June 8, 1831. In England will down-at-heel beings, seedy and but it is admitted that he man bul he believed—] ps rightl, blue blood ran in his veins. Member of Father’'s Company Mrs, Kemble was Sarah, the daugh- ter of John Ward, an actor who had played with Betterton and with Peg Woffington, later a moll!n[ manager of varied fortunes. ‘was born at Clonmel, Ireland, in l'lu Roger Kem- ble was & member of her father’s com- pany and there is a story to the effect that when first, began to be at- tentive to his daughter, Ward very hotly opposed. With complete understanding of the hlrdah'!gl of an actor's lot, he at Sarah should wed a when Sarah followed the dictates of her heart and became engnged to Roger, her father, bravely enough, covered his disap) tment with the remark: ‘“Well, my r child, you have not disobeyed me, for the devil himself could not make | an actor of Roger Kemble.” The mar- riage took place at Cirencester in 1753. Was First of Dozen Babies. Sarah was the first of the dozen babies born to the strolling manager and his wife. Four of the 12 died in infancy: of the eight surviving to ma- turity four followed their parents on the stage. “It is noticeable,” says one | of Mrs, Siddons' blographers, “that the | indisputable genius was the eldest, the Dext in talent the second—an instance | to be cited in opposition to those theorists who maintain that the star of a large family always comes in mid- way in the list.” But not only heredity was operative in the Kemble tribe; environment surely had its influence. “Sarah Kemble was bred for the stage | as well as born for it. Her nursery was | the improvised green room of the barn; | moet of the men and women who caressed or ignored her were players; | as soon as she could commit to mem- ory, recite or drop a curtsey, she was led down the boards by her mother that she might help to boil the family | pot by her baby graces.” | Mrs. Kemble was determined that her children should have all the ad- vantages possible. “No dragger-up” of sons and daughters was she, “but a vigorous, purposeful” woman not ill- equipped to guide and teach. She “in. stilled into Sarah her own clear-cut | articulation; she taught her singing | and the ichord” and in every | other way within her power endeavored to develop the latent capacities of the child. Formal Education Shght. Of more formal education Sarah had little, but what she did receive was of high quality. She was given lessons for a time by a Mrs. Harris of Thorn- lea House, Worcester, a lady who was sufficiently interested in her to be wm-v‘ ing to instruct her without charge. At 10 years of age, we are told, she “poured over Milton's ‘Paradise Lost'" and she remained a devoted admirer of Milton as long as she lived. At 12 she was juvenile lead in the family company at Worcester. We know that she played Ariel in the Kemble pro- duction of “The Tempest” in 1767. And it was at this date that Willlam g}adcm came into the story of her e.

But though “was handsome and looked quite the gentleman” and was competent to “cram any part, however long, in & day” both the parent Kem- bles opposed the mateh. In the cir- cumstances, Siddons suggested an elopement. but Sarah refused. = evitably, Siddons was dismissed from the company. But by no means dis- missed frem Sarah's mind. She “ac- cepted a situation” at 10 pounds a year in the service of Lady Mary Greatheed of Guy’'s Gliffe, Warwick, and spent ap- proximately two years there as ‘& reader or companion.” A truce pre- vailed. But the end was certain. ‘Sarah Siddons’ first love-affair was the love-affair of her life.” Siddons Reappears. Siddons reappeared. The marriage took place at Trinity Church, Coventry, November 26, 1773, and Roger gave his daughter awa: Both husband and Kemble's management, and Sarah was announced as Mrs. Sid- | dons far the first time on a Worcester playbill of December 13, 1773. The following year the troupe was at Cheltenham Wells, and there occurred an event destined to happen sooner or later in the life of the great artist. In her audience one night was Lord Bruce, later the Earl of Ailesbury. He was a |man of discrimination and knew fine acting when he saw it. Also, he was a man of power and influence, and when his foster daughter, the Hon.
