A WRITER in the Boston Record says:
'"The face and figure of William War
rem always attract close scrutiny
when the venerable actor appears on
onr streets. The other day, as he
stood at the Parker House corner
waiting for a car to pass, it was in
| teresting to see how men and women
turned quickly to glance at him. Per
haps, however, the most extraordina-
ry testimony to Mr. Warren's hold on
the popular affection was the act of a
herdic driver. Usually theman would
| have rushed his horse along fremont
SRTsoo@ hit on h114 C1711o1o1vz ha
| wondering crowd saw the driver pull
up his horse and move at a gentle
pace. Even q herdic driver was solic-
itous for the veteran actors safety
as he crossed the street. It can no
longer be doubted but that Mr.. War
rem is Boston idol"
CANDY ANDREWS" as he is called
in Saratoga, where he has been a Wis
itor for fifty years, is one of the few
types remaining in this country of the
ancient beau, says the Boston Budget.
He is still as careful in his dress as in
the past, and has attempted with the
use of dyes and cosmetics to stay the
ravages of time. He dresses in clothes
several sizes too large to conceal the
leanness of his figure. His coat and
waistcoat are of dark blue and of an
old-fashioned cut. Thecoat has enor-
nous pockets on the hips. His wide
trousers are of rough grey material.
He invariably carries pair of white
gloves in his left hand. He has plenty
of money, but is not inclined to be very
sociable. He is generally content to
sit quiet, observing the crowds as they
pass, doubtless living over again in
his memory his gallant conquests of
the past.
