AMERICAS GREATEST ACTOR.
Brief Sketch of the Life of the Great
Trapedian.

Tragedian.
Edwin Booth was born in Bel Air, Nd,
on the 18th of November. 1888. and at the
time of his death was less than 63 years
old-an age at which many men find them
selves yet preserved Of much physical
vigor and in the enjoyment of undimmed
mental faculties.
But for several years, as is well known.
the great actor. whose light has thus been
extinguished, had been afflicted with
physical ailments of serious charac-
ter, and his many brilliant qualities
of fire and genius were in a more or
less degree affected by his sufferings
The last Immediate wears of his dramatic
work were very unlike the complete and
most admirable record of his prime.
Booth made his first appearance on the
stage when he was 16. William Winter, in
an article in Harper's Magazine a dozen
years ago, told the story OF that mOmen-
tous occasion. It was at the Boston
Museum in 1S49. Edwin was in attend
ance on his father as dresser, and had
been induced TO take the small part of
Tressil In Colley Cibber's version of
Richard Ill"
The elder Booth knew nothing about i.
until he saw the boys name on the play
bill. "Fool!" was all he said. When the
night came and Edwin had dressed his
father for Gloster and himself for Tressil,
the eccentric parent took a chair, lit a
cigar, and, viewing the youth with criti-
cal eye, mad- this inquiry: DO you know
that you are supposed to have been riding
hard and farP"
Yes, SIR"
Where are your spurs?"
Il haven't any,"
Take mine"-holdiDg. out one bootleg.
The boy took the spurs. and went on for
MS little scene with Henry VI When ne
returned his father was still sitting negli-
gently to the chair and smoking his cigar.
Give me my spurs" he said, again hold
ing out his leg; and this was all the COM
ment that Edwin Booths first professional
appearance ever elected from the parent
whom he idolized. He learned subse-
quently, though, that his father had been
down at the wing and had watched his
hrst effort with evident interest ana salts
faction, and then FASTENED back TO his
nonchalent pose In thu dIessing-room.
1t was only two years later that the
elder Booth was taken suddenly i'll in
New York one night just before he was to
appear. and with scarcely any preparation
his place was taken by his 18-year-old
son, who thus for the first time in his life
enacted "Ricbard Ill" 1t is declared that
the effort was remarkably successful
la the next three years Booth served his
dramatic apprenticeship in the far West,
appearing in this State with his father and
his oldest brother, Junius Brutus Jr.
In 1852 the first great shadow fell on his
life in the death of his father, whom he
Idoized, which was the result of improper
medical attention on Mississippi River
steam boat.
While fulfilling an engagement in Rich
mond in 1858, under the management OF
Joseph Jefferson. Mr.. Booth met Miss Mary
Devlin, the gentle and beautiful woman
