ence in amors, which put their
permanent stamp upon his inner
being, and often rose out of the
vistas of memory in pictures when
he shut his eyes and unused in his
lonely old age. A biography of
Forrest which omitted these things
would be like a description of the
St Lawrence without an anusion
to Niagara"
But Forrest was one of too stur-
dy nature to become q victim Of
the effeminate charms of q Synbar-
itish capital. He was possessed
with Q native love Of truth and
reality, he was full Of ingenious
life, sportive, affectionate, eminent

Forrest, the Tragedian, When a
Young Man in New Orleans.

The account of Mr.. Forests
playing in New Orleans, where he
made his first appearance at Cald-
wells American Theatre, in Feb
ruary, 1924, abonnds in singularly
interesting details. This beauti-
full Southern city then contained
about 10000 inhabitants. 1t was
the CHIEF commercial and social
capitol of the South, and the gay
est, most Partisan city in the coun-
try. The slaveholding chivalry
was at the height of its glory.
The social life was the most voiup-
tious, passionate and reckless that
could be found in the United
States. Wealth was easily found
and carelessly lost. Manly sports
and phy sical training were enthu-
siastically cultivated. Dueling,
and every form of desperate per-
sonal conflict were constant prac-
tees. The code of manners was
alternately fascinating in courtesy
and terrible in ferocity. The gen.
tlemen planters congregated in
New Orleans, perfect masters of
their limbs and their faculties,
their weapons and their horses,
with the rich grace and strength
of the thoroughbred, pointing their
elastic motions, and presenting
superb specimens of glorious ami
NAL life. In the social saloons,
and places of fashionable resort,
the women were the peers of the
men in their intensity of being,
their fondness of venture, their
courage, brilliancy and piquancy.
The influence of this bewildering
society on Forrest is described by
Mr.. Alger in q style Of too ample
luxuriance, which not unfrequent-
ly entraps the writer with it's in
sidious enticsments.
'These men and these women,
naturally enough, were fascinating
to the adolescent actor, whose fac
ulties were all aglow with ambition
to excel, whose curiosity was on
edge in every direction to know
the contento of the living world
which it was his profession to por-
tray, and whose passions werejust
breaking from their fullest bud.
Nor was he any less fascinating to
them. His bluff courage, his
young formative docility and Ga
gerness, his smiling openness of
face and bearing. SO sadly changed
in later years. and the nameless
badge of personal distinction and
original force he bore on his front
and in his accent drew the men to
make much of him. So the out
lines of his slender, but sinewy
and breathing form, with the mus
cles so superbly defined, the deep
and mellow tones of his ringing
voice, in which the clang-tints of
the whole ORGANISM were audible,
his large and dark-brown eyes 80
clearly set and brilliant, his fresh
blood teeming over him in vital
revelation at each vehement mood,
and the speaking truthfulness Of
his portrayals of thought and SEN
timent in character, msgnetized
the women, secured him many a
Aattering smile and note and flow
ers, and led to no slight expert
