the city can be viewed, sleeps Barney
Williams, almost the first actor in the

of the comedian; an excellent likeness it
is, too. On the base of the monument is

Only short distance away is the last
resting place of the great i1npersonator
of ''Toodles"-William E. Burton. Ro-
tund, and to the outer world jolly, this
accomplished actor was for years a suf-
ferer from az incurable ailment. Many
and many time, while an audience
was roaring with laughter at the COM
icalities of poor BILLY" Burton, the
actor was suffering excruciating pain.
English by birth, but American by
adoption, he did much to elevate and
improve the stage He was once lessee
of BurtonS theater, on Chambers street,
the present site of the American News
Company's building. Later he was
lessee of a second Burton's theater, on
Broadway, directly opposite Bond

known as the Winter Garden theater,
on whose stage Edwin Booth achieved
his first great triumphs. The place is
now part of the Grand Central hotel
