For Mr. Lewis began his stage career as a "grip," whose business it is to shift the scenery between the acts. This was in the old Opera House In Syracuse, Now York, some twenty years ago, when Mr. Lewis was nothing more than a boy. Here he responded to his first call of the theatre, which he has since confessed was the dream of his carliest boyhood. But young.
