SCULPTOR TAFT'S GROUPCARRIES ON Old Stone Building on Chi- cago Campus Still Scene of Activity. BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 6.—In an old stone building out on the University of Chicago campus lives a group of prominent artists, planning and work- ing in an atmosphere still filled by the personality of their master, the | late Lorado Taft, internationally famed sculptor. Three men and two women, Fred- erick Torrey, Leonard Crunelle, Otis | F. Johnson, Nellie V. Walker and| Mary H. Webster, make this place their home and workshop. They are surrounded by hundreds of models ranging from heads of famous per- | sons to symbolic groups standing two | stories high. Each room, and there | are many, is filled with faces, figures, | personalities and “dreams” in plaster | or stone. Just before Taft died October 30, 1936, at the age of 76, he expressed the wish that his final contribution be completed by his students. This | was & group depicting George Wash- | ington with Haym Solomon and Rob- | ert Morris, patriots who aided the | colonists in the Revolutionary War. $50,000 for Completion. The soul of the rambling old studio today centers in the small plaster model of this particular group and prominent business men have organ- ized the Patriotic Foundation of Chi- cago to raise $50,000 for completion of the memorial under direction of Crunelle, who joined Taft in 1897. “Taft still lives with us,” said Sculptor Torrey, pointing to an un- finished figure of a young woman emerging from a block of ‘Tennessee marble. “His inspiration never will die here,” says the dead sculptor’s widow, Ada Bartlett Taft. “This is my home; here I can cre- ate,” says diminutive Nellie V. Walker as she caresses the pet black cat curled asleep in a paper box on her table. Thus live Taft's students. They are carrying on, materializing their own inspirations in stone and bronze, but always maintaining that their master lives to guide them. Noon Luncheon Continues. ‘When Taft was alive his students sat with him at the noon luncheon table, Even some who did not reside at the studio house would drop in to join this congenial “Dutch treat” ritual where the conversation always was of art. Tre noonday gathering still continues and the topics are still confined to art, but the master's chair stands empty.

Thompson BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. Brown blood stains on a daintily- fashioned cuff worn by Laura Keene, the leading lady at Ford's Theater the night Lincoln was assassinated, recall in this, the natal month of the Great Emancipator, incidents of that fateful night. Instead of having that triumphant entrance upon the stage which was to have been the high light of her professional career before a widely proclaimed benefit audience which in- cluded President and Mrs. Lincoln, the President’s box at the call, “Will some one bring the President water?" Here she supported his unconscious head, already dripping with a martyr's blood, against the cuff which still con- tains his blood stains. ‘This cuff is today in the possession of Mrs. S. Percy Thompson of 3247 R street, who is treasurer of the Gar- den Club of Georgetown, and whose home is diagonally across the street from the Georgetown Branch of the Public Library. Georgetown, for Laura Keene, its owner, when she was not touring, lived at 1255 Wisconsin avenue, then the ancestral farm house of her hus- band and manager, John Lutz of Georgetown. That fateful night, when Laura Keene stained this cuff quite hopelessly in her vain effort to stanch the life blood of Abraham Lincoln, her two daughters by a for- mer husband anxiously awaited news | of their mother within the walls of } the Georgetown Convent of the Visi- tation, where they were attending school. Gave Cuff to Merchant. Instead of returning that night to the Georgetown home of her husband after the tragic circumstances of that night at the theater, Miss Keene repaired to the Metropolitan Hotel, avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets northwest. Visited the next iday by M. J. Adler, a merchant of | Georgetown doing business at 3148 M | street, who was the nephew of John | Lutz her husband, she at that time gave the cuff into his possession. As one of his most treasured pos- sessions, he passed it on to his daugh- ter, Mary Adler Thompson, in one of | his business envelopes bearing this notation, “The cuff in this envelope | was given to me by Laura Keene, who was the wife of my uncle, John | S. Lutz, the morning after Mr. Lin- | coln was shot.

Joe Jefferson afterward writing of her in his memoirs tells us that she was the first woman to give dignity and charm to the lighter side of the theater and speaks of her unfailing wit and charm as a manager as well as of her integrity as an actress, a manager and a woman.

They put on a spectacular show. | Between rows of cheering thousands the children drew 58 floats depicting & pageant of New Orleans commerce. Eleven-year-old Troy Evedson was the youthful King Nor, monarch of childhood realms. He was assisted in his regal duties by his queen, Val- erie Marchesseau, 12. Following closely the pattern of their elder’s parades, the king drank & toast to his queen in ginger ale.

Laura Keene, who was born in Eng- land of a family of great respecta- bility and considerable culture, was in her youth connected with the world of art. As a child she haunted the great Turner’s studio, where she in all likelihood developed that | trained pictorial sense which all of | her life she emphasized in the theatrical productions in which she played and often managed most suc- cessfully. Famous in her native Eng- land and in Australia as Pauline in the “Lady of Lyons,” she came to America in 1852 and became manager of the Varieties Theater in New York and lessee of the Olympic, at first called Laura Keene's Theater. In 1857 John S. Lutz of Georgetown became her second husband. It was after her marriage to this son of John Lutz, the Revolutionary patriot of Georgetown who for his fidelity and incorruptible character was chosen to guard the tent of the hy Learn SPANISH?

Inside the theater was a scene of wildest confusion. Maj. Rathbore’s fiancee, Miss Harris, was calling for some one to bring water or a stimu- lant to the President. Miss Keene, in the full-flowing robes of her role, in- stantly responded, rushing to her dressing room and then up the steps to the President's box. Lifting his vainly tried to administer the water, while the blood from his mortal wound trickled down upon her arm and sleeve. Lincoln, however, had passed beyond the realm of an earthly con- sciousness—although he lingered on until the next day, April 15.
