The Sacramento Bee Of sattsday
evening, thus speaks Of the life and
death of the late Sue Robinson
Long before this issue Of the Bee will
reach Its readers, the untimely news
of the decease of Sue Robinson will
have reached them. After an illness
Of only four days she died from an
attack of Inflammation of the lungs.
The attack was so severe and uncon-
trollable that the membrane OF the
stomach was affected, and the best
medical skill could mot prolong her
life. As a Juvenile actress she made
her first appearance here when only
four years old, with the well known
Chapman family, her father being the
prompter, her sister Josephine rs
walking lady, and a brother rs ju-
venile utility man. From her nrst
appearance until her last upon the
mimic stage she acquired a hold on the
affections of the people which she re-
tained until the latest moment Of her
public life. She was born IN Chicago,
but came to California when three
wears old, and here grew to beautiful
womanhood. The advantages OF edu-
cation we're denied her. The early de-
cease of her mother deprived her OF

Mrs. Chapman's family that lady did
for her all she could. She married In
Portland, Oregon, Chas. H. Getzler, In
1859 or 1868. Her welded relations
were not happy, and terminated In a
divorce, obtained here last year. Her
maiden affections were for a Captain
| of a steamer running to Victoria, who,
unfortunately for her and himself was
| killed by an explosion. Gifted with q
generous, self-denying disposition,
Keen perception of the duties devolv-
inc on her, and an intuitive graceful
ness. aided to n remarkable degree by
natural dramatic talent, she Won her
way through her own genius to the
position Of leading theatrical lady on
this coast. As 4 comedienne, In the
highest walks of comedy, she was equal
to the best ; In burlesque, considering
the limited scope for observation she
had In that line, no II who has ap'
reared could be called her superior.
In her d%elineations of ShakSpeare's
yirtuous heroines she developed an
appreciation of the wonderful poets
conception, which being displayed be-
fore Eastern audiences would have
stamped her rs ar actress Of the high
est order. Informed Of the imminent
danger she was in, Rev. DR.. Bonte was
summoned to her bedside, who gave
what spiritual consolation he could
bestow. She was baptized In the Epis-
copal Church, and died In Its faith.

visible Prince" Her last performance
was as Catherine Howard, In the play
