American actress. she is the topmost
rose on the topmost branch" Is what they
say OF her.
The doors Of London society are swing
ing wide welcome for her. II. r. II.
Prince of Wales IS her friend. The
Duchess of Devonshire. one of the great
est social leaders in England. has initi-
ated her into the holy OF holes.
So Mrs. Brown Potter has won not only
fame as a player, but social recognition
abroad
When she started out on her career she
had as a goal only her artistic success.
But she proudly said she would never So
licit social recognition again. She would
never lift finger to gain it. She would
conquer by her art IN spite of personal
prejudice.
So she has denied all interviewers her
version Of the family troubles Her
friends have not been so reticent. They
object to the injured-air pose Of James
Brown Potter. They throw quite another
light on the affair.
When Cora Crquhart married James
Brown Potter there was a pienteous spill
ing of congratulations. Both were of
distinguished family and money was not
lacking. Mrs. Brown Potter soon became
the toa ST of the smart set. The women
said she was red haired and thin. The
men raved over her auburn tresses and
her 1.-the. dangerous grace. James
Brown Potter was delighted at the adj
miration which his wife excited. She had
a penChaEt for amateur theatricais and
he encouraged her They had a beauti-
full home IN the most fashionable quarter
OF New York City, and Mrs. Brown
Potter queened 1t right royalty.
Then there came the first great sorrow
in Ter life. Her sister died at the Ur-
quhart plantation in far-of Louisiana
died with 10 one but her mother by her
bedside
In New York Mrs. Brown Potter, all un-
conscious of her sisters Illness was en-
pertaining friends In New Orleans her
father was vaiuly inlploring an Infatuated
mob to allow him to see his daughter be-
fore she breathed her last.
Mr.. Urquhert was the president of a
bank in New Orleans which had failed
On the day of the collapse came the news
that his daughter was dying. When he
jumped into q cab and made for the river
steamer the creditors OF the bank thought
he was fleeing to evade settlement. The
mob refused to believe explanation and
the father, half crazed with grief, was
forced TO remain in New Orleans.
Meanwhile on the plantation up the
river they waited for the steamer that
would bring Mr.. Urquhart. When the
hour came for the steamer TO hoarsely
announce it's landing at the UTquhart
wharf, the dying girl was tenderly lifted
in loving arms and with gasping breath
she listened for the welcome sound that

London spoke encouragingly of this new
aspirant for fame. American papers
heaped upon her columns of abuse and
riricule. The "'Ostler Joe" incident was
raked into the light and made to run the
entire gamut of sensationalism. Twas
said that she had ostracized herself So
cially by reciting it, and that there was
nothing but the stage left for her.
Every reason but the one which her
friends claim is the real one has been
given-and that is, that she went on the
stage at her husbands suggestion and re-
fused to heed him when he vacillated to
his fathers standpoint. Cora Urquhart-
Potter has never told this for publication.
She made but one retort to the criticisms
which have been as bitter as the influ-
ence Of the Potter family could make
them.
THE latchstring of my house is always
open for my wife, said James Brown
Potter to an interviewer once.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-03-26

would herald her fathers return. Mo-
ment after moment passed until far in
the distance came a faint echo. The
steamer had passed them by and was
stopping at the next landing above with
a look of piteous resignation the Invalid
sank back on her pillows and the tired
eyelids closed forever.
Mr.. Urquhart's embarrassed financial
condition is said to have irritated the
Potter family. High-strung Cora Urqu-
hart Potter resented the Bishops appar-
entity sighting attitude toward her fam
iIy There was a breach and James
Brown Potter for the first time in his life
dared 10 question his father.
Bishop Potter promptly cut off their al
lowance Mrs. Brown Potter turned her
thoughts more seriously than ever TO-
ward her art.
She recited even more frequently than
formerly. One night in a crowded draw
ing room she gave 'Ostler Joe.
People commented on this selection at
the time. but It was not until later that
the incident was made the subject Of uni
yersaI and warm discussion in the public
prints James Brown Potter was in fnan-
cial straits His wife's father was no
longer in a position to help them and she
would not allow him TO seek aid from
his own father. Why shouldn't she go
on the stage? Her husband did not say
her nay, and without announcing their
plans the couple left for London. Ac-
counts OF their doings crossed the waters.
Now It was that they had been among the
guests at a drawing room or house party.
Then it was that she had captured the
friendship and praises Of Robert Brown
Ing by her vivid readings of his poems.
And one day in glaring headlines the pa
pers announced that Mrs. Brown Potter
was going to make her professional debut
In a London theater as the protege of H.
R II. and other celebrities.
Bishop Potter sent q Cablegram COM
handing them to give up the insane idea
and return Immediately for parental re-
proof and forgiveness. But when the
homecoming steamer landed its passen-
gers only James Brown Potter of the two
walked down the gangplank. He came
to tell his father. the Bishop, that they
had fully determined on their course. He
remained at home and became converted
to his fathers point of view. and later
he tried his best 10 aid his father in pre-
venting Mrs. Potter's further career on
the stage.
But Cora Urquhart-Potter had gone too
far TO withdraw. She had burned her
bridges and was anxious to cross the
Rubicon and she made her debut as an
actress.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-03-26

I'm much obliged to him for the cour<
tesy, especially as I own the latchkey ana
the deeds to the house" said Cora Urqu-
hart-Potter later to the same interviewer.
Bishop Potter's will provided against
Mrs. Potter's ever gaining cent OF the
money which he left his son. But Mrs.
Potter can legally have claim on the
500 900 which James Brown Potter recent
ly inherited from his mother Gossip
says that it is to prevent this that he is
al last suing for a divorce.
Mrs. Potter does not object to the d.
yorce-on the ground of desertion. If
other reasons are alleged. then she will
contest the suit. She goes next month to
South Africa for theatrical tour OF six
teen weeks She will be supported by
Kyrle Bellew, with whom her name mas
been linked other than professionally.
Her friends Indignantly deny that the
favor of the Prince Of Wales has been.
gained at a sacrifice.

tunfty Of clearing herself of old and
threadbare charges. mot unless he
dares," says Mrs. Potter, and then -"
And then? Then the world will hear
what has heretofore been kept for the
sympathetic ears OF personal friends.
Then a new light will be thrown on the
"'Ostler Joe" incident. Then the Brown
Potter family skeleton viii have its last
vestige Of privacy shvered into bits.
And then Cora Urquhart Potter will ap-
pear far more sinned against than sin
ming.
The public airing Of the Brown Potter
scandal has never been Mrs. Brown Pot
ter's doing. Other willing hands have
laid bare the blot on the family escutch-
con.
It was the indignant Potter family that
famed into fame the sensation Mrs.
Brown Potter created when she recited
'"Ostler joe" And one cf them hurled
back a. her the very words with which
she had thrilled her hearers.
Who lured mems souls to the shores of
SIN. with the light Of her wanton eyes,
Who sang the song that the siren sang on
the treacheroUs Lurley Height,
Whose face was as fair as a summer day,
and whose heart was as black as night.
When Mrs, Brown Potter chose to
leave the drawing-room for the stage 1t
VAS powerful Bishop Potter who made
he strongest stand against her on be-
half of the family name. 1t was the
power of the press and the power of the
pulpit pitted against the courage OF one
woman.
But it was courage born of desperation
and Of genius. and therefore it triumphed
not because of obstacles, but in spite
OF them.
Inch by inch. step by step. the Potter
family fought her as she slowly but stead
fIy mounted the ladder of fame
And yet when Bishop Potter lay on his
deathbed she stood poised for the top
most rung of fame. When his will was
read people far and wide commented
upon It. Between the lines there breath
ed his antpathy for this actress who
bore his sons name.
Mrs Potter bore the odiUm of this I'M
written reproach. Thus far she has never
swerved from the path Of silence which
she marked out for herself
VIII she break it now? is the question
friends are anxiously asking. IF James
Brown Potter forces her to 1t, yes, is the
answer.
Cora Urquhart Potter's position in her
profession is no longer questioned. Her
success as Miladi in Beerbohm Trees

The Brown Potter marital riddle Will
