Only a Memory. From 19th century diaries and newspaper notices, and old playbills, the play has long been known about. Its author was Novelist James Kirke (Westward Ho!*) Paulding, and it was first put on by famed Actor-Producer James H. Hackett under the title The Lion of the West.

The Third is Republican: by 17,300 in 1946, 9,291 in 1948, 12,428 in 1950 and 14,694 in 1952. This year G.O.P. Representative John M. Robsion Jr. should be able to hold his lead over Democratic Candidate Harrison M. Robertson to at least the 1948 margin.
