so long For the foot-lights, though only
a. few jets OF flame. as surely form gulf
between those behind them and the outer

be dark and gloomy as well as bright sl.d

link which binds them to the life they
have chosen. For theirs is life or ac-
.lvity, Of constantly-changng scenes, ana
they live in that delightful Bohemian at
mosphere which forms the greatest charm
for those who have cast their lots with
the stage. What then, must be the feel

then Joined John Templeton's company,
and played through the South. At SaYaG-
nah big benefit was rendered her. After
this tour she played entire seasons in
stock companies at New Albany, Ind,
Cincinnati Philadelphia, Baltimore, end
St. Louis. 1t was while taking the lead
ing parts In these companies that she
played with Edwin Forest Lawrence Bar
rett, John Mccullough, James Hearne,
Fetchtcr, Ada Gray, Pauline Markham,
Lucille and Helen Weston. II was no
thing great" said the actress modestly,
"but / always pleased, and that was the
reason of my success. 1 have yet to play

a favorite. II was not because / dressed
finely, either, because 1 liked 10 play
parts which required me to make up in
rags. l always liked TO play a street
waif or some miserable little creature.
In New York I was once playing the part
Of a street waif, at Barnums old mu'

then wrote for me THE Hidden Hand +"

Speaking Of the Bowery Theatre New
York, Miss Darlington said that house.
in the sixties, was the workshop OF the
theatrical profession. They would have
no bootjacks there" she said. Forrest
once carried a banner there at the head
OF the supers. The greatest actors Of the
day sprang from that old theatre" After
the war Miss Darlington played The REQ
Scarf at the Bowery Theatre.
WITH ROAD COMPANIES.
Miss Darlington first went out with a
road company twelve years ago, and has
been on the road every season since until
last April, except In 1894, when she re-
turned home TO nurse her sister Mary,
who was iii on their little farm I'm Han
over county. Mary Darlington never re-
covered from her sickness, though she
fingered a year, her sister remaining with
her during that time. Miss Mary Par
tington was a dancer, and during the
war was almost as great a favorite with
the soldiers as was the actress. she Is
buried in Hollywood Cemetery.
The actress does not intend TO go on
the road again, but hopes TO spend her

has passed the best portion OF her life,

fame after the war. 1t was during the
years Of that struggle that she shone

nearly every SOlhici VIM otN hln ANoN

II is safe 10 say that during the days OF
ls6l-'65 a hundred thousand Confederate
soldiers saw the then vivacious little
actress on the boards Of the three houses
