gave this laudatory paragraph Go White
side when he appeared in New YORK: The
passing of Edwin Booth opens place in
the ranks of America actors that no one at
this moment is prepared to occupy TO the
full. The dead tragediau, by reason of his
magnetic personality natural gifts and ac-
quirements of study and training, shone
with Incompatible splendor in the imper-
sonation of certain roles. In his own do
main of the dramatic art ne was without
peer or rival. His position in the world of
the theater was unique, too, from the con-
stant dignity and dseency ofhis private and
personal life. He was not a brawler,
gamester or seducer of women. He held
himself apart from the designations, dis
orders and demoraliZations OF his calling.
In him the community saw that one might
be an actor and yet be gentle and honest
man. There is at this moment no player
fitted at once by genius and experience TO
bear with perfect ease and gracethe mantle
DOTTED by this actor king, We incline to
believe, however, that upon the shoulders
of Walker Whiteside the mantle is destined
to fall, and that unless promise fails ut
terly these shoulders will prove worthy to
bear it."
