MRS. ROBERT TYLER'S CAREER.
Her Debut More Than Half Century Ago
Her Marriage.

New York sum-
An actress died the other day who had
half century ago enchanted all New York,
The daughter of great actor, the daughter
in-law of q President of the United States,
a whilom lady OF the White House, and an
accomplished, charming woman. she passed
away so peacefully and 50 quietly that even
lyux-eyed newspapers have forgotten to tell
of her sweet and yeteventful life. 1t has been
said simply that Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife
of the son of President Tyler" expired at
her Southern home. Fifty-6ve years ago
Priscilla Elizabeth Cooper was New York
belle. She was the daughter of the then
famous Thomas Apthorpe Cooper, q
tragedian who in his prime had a
handsome face, noble person. fine
mellow voice, sunusual dignity OF
manner and grace of action, and declama-
tion most forcible and eloquent He was
for 80 years a paramount favorite of the
New York public, and he thrived and grew
rich. In 1912 he took for his second wife
beautiful and brilliant Mary Fairlie, the
Sophy Sparkle of IrvinH's "SalamagundI, "
the daughter of the celebrated wit Major
James Fairlie, and the granddaughter of
Governor Robert Yates.
Thus the actor, whose father was a real
old Irish gentleman, became allied to two of
the most eminent families in the State, and
his society, while he was in the prime of
his wealth and his art, was eagerly courted
by al who made pretension to taste or
fashion. Priscilla Cooper, daughter Of
this notable union, was born on June
IA, 1876. She was carefully and wisely
educated, and reared with all the
surroundings of wealth and refine
ment by loving parents. A stage
career had never been contemplated
for her, and indeed prospect of it was re-
pugnant to her disposition. Yet she
did not hesitate to sacrifice her preju-
dice when the time came. In 20
years the tragedian had exhausted fortune
in extravagant living, and, though aided by
generous benefits, he was compelled to re-
turn to a stage which he had Quilted, he
once thought, forever. When he went be-
fore the footlights at the Old Bowery, one
night in 1884 he had for Virginia to his
Virginius his young and lovely daughter.
That was her debut upon the stage.
The night was notable one for this new.
actress. Her interesting appearance, her
graceful, girlish manner, her sunny counte-
nance, shaded by clustering curls of golden
hair, and the real merit she displayed, COM
bined to make her debut promising sue

her self-appointed task. For three years she
played in her father's company, and
in the South and West she became an
especial favorite. The stage, indeed, was
her fate. An auditor who could not resist
her charms met her, wooed her and won
her. Thus Priscilla Cooper, in 1910, be-
came Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife of the son of
John Tyler, elected Vice President of the
United States and successor to the Presi-
deney on the death of the grandfather of
Benjamin Harrison.
