ments. In our show was Sol Smith
Russell, then quite . young NAH, In
fact. only eighteen years old. He sang
u comic song and did comic act, until
the mana AIRS called upon hiEa to come
out and be n star. Behind him Is ut
leas. another generation of actors, and
he plays by the law of hcredity. like
the Booths and Jcfferxons. Duration
makes art. The ksmbles aud siddons'
were derived. il is said. from an actor
who used To play in Shakespeare com
Pany. The glassblowers in France. who
come To- this exhibition and show their
skill. are derived from people intro
duced by Henry ~. and Louis XIV. or
by the Vene:ians who came out from
Venice and founded the glass works Of
France. They are born. ~ To speak.
