his eye was Immediately noticed In
short, he was typical Roman gladiator
in appearance. His hair was always
disheveled, his necktie was never

finest quality, were carelessly worn- In

events, bat we were all so thoroughly
frightened that none of us dared to join
in his hilarity.
Forrest was almost morbid in some
respects. He could not be brought to be-
1ieve that he had any sincere friends.
Even his intimates, he thought, admired
his ability, not himself. It was in all
probability this trait which earned him
so many personal enemies. He was not
suspicious. On the contrary, he was one
of the most trustful and confding men
it has ever been my privilege to meet.
He simply thought himself personally
unattractive and was unable to under
stand how any one could regard him in
any other light. A very excellent illus
tration of this trait was afforded one
afternoon when at his invitation went
with him to his country place at Font
Hill, which is now Mount st. Vincent,
in this city. He had there beautiful
Arabian mare named Dolly. While we
were on the broad piazza Forrest shout
ed loudly, dolly, DollyP' In a very
few seconds the shapely steed came
prancing from the direction of the sta
BILE, and, going to her owner, rubbed
her head affectionately against his shout
der. Turning to me, this remarkable
man, then in the very zenith of his
glory, remarked, "John, here is the
only living creature which really loves
me disinterestedly. He sighed deeply,
and could not help thinking that per-
haps the heart of this taciturn genius
concealed romance of which the world
knew nothing.
Othel1o appears to have been fatefu1
character for Forrest. 1t was at the time
believed by those who were in a position
to speak with authority that it was
something which occurred at one of
Forests performances of Othello which
gave Edwin Booth an undisputed posi-
ton as an extremely great actor. At
any rate, it is quite certain that up to
that time he was regarded only as a
particularly promising ''son of his IA
ther," while Immediately afterward he
was accepted for himself and was recog
nized as a potent favorite.
Forrest was very much annoyed by
the loud talking and laughing which
proceeded from a box occupied by the
manager of a prominent city paper and
the wife Of the proprietor. He came to
me and complained of it. I sent polite
message to the disturbers and requested
that the noise cease. For a few mo-

naents comparative quiet reigned in that
particular spot, but after very short
interval it was broken by more talking
and laughing than had been INDUCED
in before. Forrest was furious. Blind
to his own interests and deaf to my en-
treaty, he STROBE close to the box, and
staring the offender out of countenance
he said:
Madam, either you or 1 must cease
talking, or the play cannot go on"
A Chance For Edwin Booth.
Naturally this had the desired effect,
but it brought down upon Forrest tor
rent of condemnation from those who
declared that his action was brutal and
unjustifable. The next morning the
newspaper owned by the husband of the
1oquacious lady published long article,
in which it stated that, while the right
to the premiership of the American
stage had been debated for considera-
bic time, it ought to be considered as
settled. Forrest was waning; Edwin
Booth was growing stronger every day.
Booth had been coming; Forrest had
been going. 1.-The king is dead Long
live the kingP' and a lot more in that
line. This article was widely copied,
and this it was which many believed
firmly established Edwin Booth, as
have already explained
One of Forests weaknesses was his
dislike of Charlotte Cushman. He could
not possibly have been envious Of her,
for, great as she was, he was considered
by the public as even greater. But he
disliked her intensely. For many years
before he died these two transcendent
artists had never spoken. had been in
the employ of both, liked them both
and admired them both as individuals
and actors. They were two of the grand
est people I had ever met, and it was
my constant hope that I might be able :
to bring about reconciliation. The cp-
portunity I thought had arrived when L
received letter from Felix Vincent and
John Ells1er, who were then managing
the AthenRum in Cleveland, informing
me that Edwin Forrest was to play
three nights at their house and that he
had requested that come on to rehearse
for him the three pieces which he was
to do.

Especial Correspondence.J

Especial Corrsspondence.1
NEW York, Feb. 22.-One of my
earliest important engagements as full
fedged stage manager was in this city
with Edwin Forrest. I remained with
him in that capacity for a long time,
and my intimate personal and profess
siona1 association with him qualities
me to speak autheritatively of one of
the very grandest figures the American
stage has ever known. In fact, I think
that am well within bounds when I
declare that Edwin Forrest was the
most convincing actor in this country
during the latter half of the nineteenth
century.
Kmpa1ed by q Glance.
My first experience with Forrest was
many years before the period of which
I am now writing. was a boy and
acted as one of the numerous super
numeraries. I could never please him.
He declared that was the most stub
born lad he had ever met. One day he
kept nagging at me SO persistently
about the manner in which I carried
my spear, which, by the way, had
sharp steel point, that became angry,
and, boylike, regardless of the conse-
quences, attacked him with the weap-
on. He fed ANONYMOUSLY. The mem
bers of the company were convulsed
with laughter. Suddenly the giant stop
ped and fairly impaled the actors with
a terrific glance. There was an oninous
pause, while everybody quaked in an
ticipation of the earthquake that was
about to come. Then Forrest burst into
a loud laugh. Most of US were greatly
relieved at the unlocked for turn of
