Here is an incident out of stage life and 1t is
bitter realism without any great amount OF ro-
nance. Richard Mansfield is the young actor
whom you may have seen as the tragic Richard
the Third or as the IN horribly grotesque MI:
money in exploiting himself as the hunchbac ok
monarch, and made considerable profit by a
more popular impersonation of the other physi-
cal monstrosity In his own individuality, he
is good looking fellow, extremely Intelligent,
and ABOVE all things confident Now for the
other member of the couple requisite for any
sentimental story worth telling. Beatrice Cam
eron is young woman of remarkable physical
her family one name Being aegeman. and
her father physician well known there.
She visited in New York, and figured in
!
Brown Potter in the time when that celebrated
lady was our leading amateur actress. per-
Torrance for charity was ready to be given,
and within several days OF the occasion Mrs.
Potter fell ill. It at first proposed TO post
pone the affair. Then Miss Cameron offered
her services, and her beauty ana brightness IN
duced the manager to accept them. So she made
her debut on the amateur stage, and 1t was q
measurable success. Still desirous of following
, the example of Mrs. Potter, she determined
later go on the professional stage. Her FAM
lily opposed the project vigorously, and her hus-
bride-refased his consent But she would moi
give up her ambition, although IL involved the
loss of husband and family both,
Beatrice hired herself out to Mansfield, anc
played with much sweetness and delicacy. the
heroines in several of his plays. They fell il
love with each other and would have married
only that the girl was unable to get legally free
5 from her husband. So the pair, although wed
ded in mimicry before the audience nearly every
) | evening were unable to clear the way to rea
Inatrimony. Lately another cloud lowered sud
t denly upon them. Beatrice inherited consump
ton, and last winter the disease developed itsel
E in her. Her last appearance in public was .
the whimsical heroine OF Ibsen's "A DolPi
y House." Immediately after that she went to Eu

' | Southern France might restore her to health
