# "A Southern Sunrise" by Harry Conor This article recounts Harry Conor's early theatrical career, specifically his debut as an "independent star" in Greenville (location unclear, likely South Carolina based on references). The piece is humorous memoir rather than political satire. The narrative describes Conor's journey from Boston to a small village, his attempt at scenic painting for theatrical backdrops, and a disastrous "Waverly Frolic Company" production. The story includes comedic details about a coach journey where he discusses a sunrise with an old driver, and mishaps during the theatrical performance. The accompanying illustrations show period costumes and a group traveling by coach. This appears to be entertainment-focused humor celebrating theatrical life's absurdities rather than political commentary.
