Miss Eleanor Merron, the author of
THE Dairy Farm" is an actress as well
as a dramatist. She made her first ap-
pearance on the stage with a company
under the management of Mr.. Eugene
Tomplius, and after playing parts of con-
stantly increasing Importance for two
seasons was engaged by the late Fanny
Davenport to imperSOnate the Countess in
Fedora She did so well in this charaC-
ter that Miss Davenport, recognizing her
fitness for refined light comedy warmly
advised her to cultivate her talents in that
direction. Miss Merron was advanced to
leading woman in the Davenport organ
ization and remained there two years
when she joined the company of Miss
Julia Marlowe to play such parts as Ma
ria in Twelfth Night"
She then went from legitimate drama to
comedy by taking an engagement i'll

in the nineties she wrote and produced
one-act play called THE Last Rehearsal,
which has been acted by several promi-
nent stars as well as herself.
