Ages of actors and actresses, and some
thing Of the family relations, whether they
are married or single, and the names they
are known By in private life, are always
read with interest By the theatre-going pub
lie, as a large percentage of people IN
every community attend theatrical per
formanees some time or other during every
dramatic season. When Miss Good Singer
appears before an admiring public the
ladies speculate at once on the number OF
seasons she has been before the public and
the number Of seasons that have passed
before she adopted the stage as
profession. 1t would be highly improper to
publish the ages of ladies and gentlemen in
private walks of life, but in view of the fact
that stage people are public characters,
fully as much as statesmen or other people
whose names are constantly before the
world. q publication of something Of their
history would not be considered breach OF
confidence. To begin with, Fanny Ellsler,
