Scope and Contents

"The Law of the White Circle, a play by Wade Marbaugh and Paul Hudson. Copyright 2006 Wade Marbaugh and Paul Hudson. Adapted from 'The Law of the White Circle' (Nashville: Taylor-Trotwood Press, 1908), a novella by Thornwell Jacobs. Wade Marbaugh, Atlanta..." dated on title page "1-8-06." Note attached to cover title page from Marbaugh to Del Hamilton: ' Del - Here's the latest update of the race riot play. Discard other takes. I added key lines on p. 40 to (1) sum it up - 'All people are my people' and (2) address Robert Earl's concern that the tragedy of the mulatto won't play well today. The solution is to de-emphasize Lola's failed scheme, and the conversation between her & Musa on 40 does that, I hope. Wade." 42 numbered leaves. Another copy dated "1-1-06" 41 numbered leaves, and flyer for a presentation on the 1906 text at Clarkston, and an article on the text by Paul Stephen Hudson.
