Mrs. Corbett Makes Her First APP
DeaPance on the Stage.

Mrs. Corbett Makes Her First APP
DeaPance on the Stage.
MONTH EAL, April Airs. Corbett
wife of the worlds champion prize,
fighter, made her first appearance on
the puphc stage here last night. The
piece was "Gentleman Jack" Mrs.
COrbett took the part of Polly Graham,
a college widow. She created a very
favorable impression. She was by far
the prettiest woman of the company,
and ner performance for a novice was
good. She acted in a vivaciOuS and nat
ura manner. She forgot her lines sew
eral times, however. and had to be
prompted. Mrs. Brady, wife OF Cor
belts manager. also made her debut in
the character OF CorbettS sweetheart,
but beyond appearing very attractive
was not especially good. Almost !. 900
people attended the performance, and
toward the close the crowd acted in a
disgraceful manner. The audience in
the general admission portion of the
house overpowered the posse of police
that was endeavOring 10 keep order.
