and his public loved him in il. One
Of his first appearances in this character
was in the Winter Garden. New York. in
June. 1868, on an occasion OF singular
interest. The three leading roles were
played by the three brothers-Edwin
Booth as Brutus, Junius Brutus Booth as
Cassius. and John Wilkes Booth as Mark
Anthony. Edwin Booth played Brutus
continuously from December % to March
16 in the winter of 1S71-72 at Booths
Theater. Later on the play was the
chieI feature Of the tours OF the Booth
Barrett combination.
Tho next great American actor TO
play Brutus was Z. L. Davenport. He
had seen the zenith Of his career and
had relapsed into retirement, when. IN
December Of 1875, he was brought for-
ward as Brutus in a revival of Julius
Caesar" at Booths Theater. He played
the role 101 consecutive times in New
York. and then repeated IL exclusively
on a triumphant tour. How well he

Attention Is called to the fact that
