A Theatrical Reminiscence,

There was one name in the cast of ''The
Isle of Champagne" as given at the Belfast
Opera House last week, that attracted the
attention of the writer. 1t was that of
Blanche Chapman, who took the part of
Priscillas aunt. About twenty-nine years
ago, when burlesque was all the stage,
Lydia Thompson and her British blondes
having set the pace, John T. Ford, mana
ger of the Holiday Street Theatre, Balti-
more, (also of Ford's Theatre in Washing
ton, in which President Lincoln was assas-
sinated) brought out the Chapman sisters
Blanche and Ella, in this line, their repor-
toire including "lxion, the Man at the
Wheel and like plays then in vogue, but
now forgotten. The writer was then en-
gagged on a Baltimore daily and among other
duties had charge of the amusement column
and thus made the acquaintance of Manager
Ford, very clever gentleman by the way.
AS the young ladies were to make their debut
country it was necessary that the local press
should give them a good send off and it did
Most Of the press notices in the illustrated
circular used in advertising the Chapman
sisters were written by the hand which pens
this notice. 1t may be said here that the
Chapman sisters came of a theatrical family
Their mother was then member of the
stock company at the Holiday Street Theatre
and was known as one of the best cold
women on the stage at that time. She had
appeared in most of the leading theatres of
the country and with the hest dramatic tai
ent. Stage names not always reliable ;
but the writer would wager dollars to
doughnuts that nearly thirty years ago he
saw "Prisclla's Aunt in the part of
"Ixion'
