renee Barrett was born In Paterson, N. J. I,
on April 4, 1888. His father was an Irish
man and his mother a frugal American.
His mother did her best to gain for her
children a good education. Barrett was
sickly and feeble. His health improved
after his family removed to Detroit while
he was quite young. But the family was
poor and he had TO seek employment while
still boy. He accordingly became call
boy at the leading theater of the city, and
from that humble calling rose TO be proba-
bly, the greatest tragedian OF his day.
