Mccullough Eclnnc..

Joseph Haworth in private life Is a
student. When away from the theater
Haworth spends all his spare time in
completing the life Of John Mccullough.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
Mccullough which money could not buy
Il was written several days previous to
the death Of the tragedian. 1t was
probably the last letter written by Nc
Gullough, in view of the fact that for
months previous to death his brain was
shattered =" We will climb the ladder
of fame together. joe" he said, land
will help you until we both reach the top
round"
- Mccullough had valet named Bob
Pritchard who WAS curious fellow,
said Haworth, recently. He was a
thrifty Scotchman, and TO save money
he always made his bed in Mccullough
dressing room in the theater. Once John
missed a handsome robe which he wore
in Richgrd ILL., 1t couldn't be found.
Finally, several months later, when
playing in New York, two little Pritch-
ards came 10 the theater, and the dresses
which they wore were cut from Nc.
Culloughs handsome robe.
"Pritchard expressed his sympathy
curiously the day the guv'nor was
buried.
a. He was great man, Mr.. Haworth,
he sobbed, "a good man. Many dress

wiped the floor with me, sir. Boston
