STORIES OF MRS. GILBERT
How the Famous Actress Once Came
to John Drew's Reacue.

How the Famous Actress Once Came
to John Drew's Rescue.
There is pretty story told of the
late Mrs. Anne Hartley Gilbert, Amer
ica's famous old actress, on one of her
visits to San Francisco. 1t was John
Drew's last season with DAILY, when he
had already announced his intention to
star and DAILY was making things as
disa greeable as possible for him. He
allowed him to take no calls for him.
self. no matter what the audience
wanted. On his last night in San
Francisco DAILY had left for the east.
The audience called the curtain up
again and again, and 1T was very evil
dent that it was Drew they wanted, to
clap a farewell to him, and they would
not be satisfied with the repeated re-
turns OF the whole company. But DAILY
was implicitly obeyed, whether he was
present or not, and Drew must have
somebody to return with him. Finally
Mrs. Gilbert offered herself, hastily
buttoning her dress, which she had
loosened preparatory for dressing for
the next act. She hurried upon the
stage with him, then, patting his hand
in view of the audience. withdrew and
left him alone to his curtain call, his
by rights.
"When he met me in the wings he
didn't say anything about what l had
done, but he stopped and kissed me
and said, God bless you, grandma
Mrs. Gilbert treasured some Cali
fornia flowers that she pressed long
ago. She got them just as she was
leaving the Pacific coast after one Of
Days visits there. The train stopped
in n grimy spot. desolate bit of the
California where one cabin was the
only building in sight. The miner sat
at his door and near him, inside, was
a table on which stood bunch of gor-
geous California wild flowers.
They made the only bright spot in
the whole dingy picture. and every
body In the car noticed them. Half a
dozen pretty women poked their heads
out of as many windows and begged
for them. They We're all young, all
charming. in fact they were some Of
Days stage beauties. But the desc
late miner was proof against their
wiles, far more than any Johnnie who
should be better used to them. He
shook his head stolidly.
AS the train pulled out, the window
where Mrs. Gilbert sat passed his door.
She nodded and smiled as she passed.
To her surprise re sprang from his
seat. Selling the flowers as he did so.
With great strides he ran after the
train. reaching it just in time to fling
the flowers in at the rear door.
They're for the old lady," he cried.
