The experience Of the English actor and
his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, in America
has been remarkable one. Sept. 30, 1880,
they landed in New York with profes-
sjoual tour before them which had long
been contemplated and several times post
poned. They say that they stepped ashore
with fear and trembling, not at all certain
of success. A week later they appeared
for the first time before an American audi.

them great deal of money and at least as
much qualification as any English players
