he managed the New Varieties theater tn New
Orleans, and in December, lS7c, he played Cas-.
sius to Booths Bruins in New York. During
1874 he made successful tours through
the United States, visiting the lead
ing cities. The season of 1875 began
with . magnificent revival OF Julius
Cesar at Booths theateT, where he again ap-
peared az Cassius, and later ~ King Lear. He
took the part Of Daniel bruce, and was the lrst
actor to appear in Mr.. Gilbert's play OF that
name in the United Statea Later he produced
"Yorick's Love" at the Park theoter in New
York. One OF his later successes was in Bakers
"Francesca di Rimini," which he brought ont in
1882 at the Chestnut street theater, Philadel-
phia- He acted the hunchback, Lanciotto,
with great intelligence and rare power. In the
autumn OF 1883 this play ran for nine weeks as
the Star theater in New York, where 1t was pre-
sented on a very complete scale, and attracted
much enthusiasm. Mr.. Barrett first visited
England in 1867, and next in 1881, and since that
time made several appearances there, and was
favorably received in his prominent roles.
During the seasons Of 1859, 1890 and the present
season he acted in conjunction with Edwin
Booth, being manager Of the company. He pro-
duced number of original plays during the
last fifteen years of his lffe creating the leading
roles, and made onscientious efforts to encour-
age the production of dramas of high character.
His latest production, brought out last autumn
IN new lOrk cltys during the IuueSs Oh pr.
Booth, was play by Oscar Wilde,
which was not popular success Mr.. Barrett
was the author OF . life of Edwin Forrest pub
hshed in Boston in 1851. Without possessing
genius, Mr.. Barrett was . studious, painstaking
actor, and achieved success through intense ap-
plicstion and continued striving to realize the
highest ideals, rather than through natural apt
ness or talent. He was of quiet, refined tastes,
and possessed the esteem of large circle of
friends outside the dramatic profession. He was
emiuently successful as . manager.l
